In the short story âThe Devil and Tom Walkerâ by Washington Irving, satire is incorporated in a perfect way. This story is about Tom Walker, who makes a pact with the devil, and ends up lending money at high interest rates.
Facetious trickery, practical jokery (like the use of jokery here). Notes: Today's Good Word comes from a pseudo-name, Tom Fool half-wit, originally a demeaning term for someone suffering from mental illness. The word seldom implies stupidity today and it never refers to mental retardation. Rather it implies impish silliness or even mild trickery. Today a person given to tomfoolery is a tomfool who is so tomfoolish that he or she behaves tomfoolishly. A synonym to today's word, tomfoolishness, is not impossible.
