Don't be Thrunch and Spuddle; Thrip and Squiddle


Translation:
Don't be angry and make a mountain out of a molehill; snap your fingers and waste time with an idle chat.

(or: Let down your hair, man.)

Fancy fadoodle? Me, too.

It sounds like a sweet treat--something whimsical and eaten with the tips of your fingers.
