tomfoolery

I ought to be above feeling annoyed at this tomfoolery—but these conjuring fellows go too far.

I ain't goin' to listen to any tomfoolery, and I ain't goin' to have anybody dictatin' to me about my own business.

That comes of no tomfoolery in eating, and a good regular brushing night and morning.

We are in a civilized land here, and we cant have tomfoolery of this kind.

And for the other tomfoolery, pretending to search premises: Cope has a warrant?
