Folderol is one of those words that just tickles the tongue as you say it. It’s such a lyric word.

I am amazed at how very bold are all
The defenders of Hillary’s folderol
They protect and defend
While I wish to send
Her to jail, if any can hold her all

“Folderol” - more polite to say than “b*llsh*t”.
