Dictionary.com defines "Tuffet" as a low stool or foot-stool. Why are we hanging on to this word? It's over for tuffets.
The only reason we ever needed this word was to rhyme with "Little Miss Muffet". And that is a made-up name! We can use made-up names to rhyme with anything! Little Miss Neet sat on a seat, Little Miss Dare sat on a chair, little Miss Key sat under a tree!
We do not need muffets.
Good day to you!
Tuffet is a perfect word...get off your high tuffet it says exactly what it is...okay who am I kidding the spell checker is not even recognizing the word but I have the picture in my head because of illustrated nursery rhyme books.
