They can also be used in Scrabble or other word games to score more points. Nonsense words are generally not found in the dictionary, but there are online lists of them that you can use.

Overall, Hooey, balderdash, mumbo jumbo, gobbledygook, drivel, and blather are nonsense words that can be used in place of regular expressions to make things seem funnier or more ridiculous. For example, if you were to say, “That’s a bunch of hooey,“ it would mean that you don’t believe what the other person is saying. Or if you said, “I’m such balderdash,” it would mean you’re exhausted of silliness.

In conclusion, nonsense words are an essential part of the language. They help us think outside the box and come up with new and innovative ideas. They also allow us to communicate our thoughts and feelings in a fun and creative way. So next time you see a nonsense word, don’t be afraid to use it!
