kitten ka boodle ????

From World Wide Words:

Caboodle has a complicated history. It’s been spelt down the years in many different ways, and these days is usually listed in dictionaries with an initial “c”. It means a collection of objects, sometimes of people. It commonly turns up in the whole caboodle, meaning “the whole lot”. It’s recorded in the US from the middle of the nineteenth century. It’s probable that the word was originally boodle, with the phrase being the whole kit and boodle, but that the initial sound “k” was added to boodle for euphony.

It seems that the whole kit and caboodle eventually won the linguistic battle for survival in the US because of that repeated “k” sound…

I like those save stories. I found a ? 5 in 1 tool? used for cleaning paint rollers amoung other things. It had a broken handle. One day my 12 year old grandson was in the shop with me. We were winding down and I said “come over here so I can coach you a little.” He made an oak handle from the scrap box. Sanded to fit and securely in place with a coat of polyurethane. Lesson learned – recycle.

The caboodle was revived by some clever marketing about 20-25 years ago. My then teenage daughter had a caboodle. Girls carried the entire kit and caboodle when they spent the night and needed to carry their fixins. It was an over night make up type case.

“kit and caboodle”, got it. Thank you.

Andy, cheese with wine my friend…preferably a nice chianti from our favorite Tuscan winery of Felsina. Gail and I visited it in 2009 during our visit to Italy. It was a dream come true.

Smitty, I thought you’d enjoy the double entendre.

Overall, the handle is not perfectly rounded. So I’ve been researching the building of my own treadle lathe.
