I have been reading a fantastic, whimsical book called JOY OF QUILTING by Helen Kelley and I came across a wonderful new word in her book that I had never heard of. I was wondering if anyone on the board knows what a "fangle" is? I will expose the meaning after some of you guess.

I grew up the phrase "new fangled". Like: Mable got one of those new fangled washing machines.

Fangled, hummmm, maybe anything that is used in a new way? That's a good word. Maybe if you don't tell us, we will always be able to use the word and it will be correct, no matter how we use it. LOL

I agree with clynns.
|
I too, grew up with the expression 'new fangled' roughly meaning something new to the market. I'd guess that the actual definition means something like designed or created.
|
Isn't that like a watchmacallit? LOL!
