Siena - Rider kerfuffle

The Siena coach giving imaginary handshakes is hilarious. The Rider head coach should be suspended.


I freaking love it and I agree on both counts!

Jimmy P has been a friend forever, since his days bartending at Third Edition in Georgetown to supplement his meager pay as an assistant to Gary at Maryland.

Good for him.
 
I don't know whats funnier, the imaginary handshakes or the use of the word kerfuffle.
 
From the on-line etymological dictionary:

kerfuffle (n.)
"row, disturbance," 1970; from 1946 as kafuffle, said to have been used c. 1930 in Canadian English, ultimately from Scottish curfuffle.

curfuffle (n.)
1813 (carfuffle), first used by Scottish writers, from a dialect word of Scotland based on Scottish verb fuffle "to throw into disorder" (1530s); first element probably as in kersplash, etc. (see ker-).

ker-
U.S. slang prefix, by 1836 as che-, 1843 as ker-, possibly from influence of German or Dutch ge-, past participial prefixes; or ultimately echoic of the sound of the fall of some heavy body, (as in ker-plunk)
