“hodgepodge” mixture of a bunch of different
stuff.

week was a real hodgepodge of the stuff I
had in my fridge.
Next is “shenanigans”.
“Shenanigans”, I like this word a lot.

the my plan your family or your friends that
are just a little bit mischievous, not necessarily
evil but just kind of tricky, or just to be
a little bit funny to play a joke on someone.

enough with your shenanigans, go to your room,
or something like that.
The next word is “skedaddle”.
“Skedaddle” is a good word, it means to
leave quickly, to go, to go quickly.
