It reminds me of the old Reader’s Digest “It Pays To Increase Your Word Power”. But the words they use on WFTD I never saw in Reader’s Digest.

More like I opine there occasionally. Today's word is completely new to me. Fleer. It seems to mean the same as the Spanish carcajar.

I used to love that part of RD, and gleaned so much from each issue.
Today, however, FR gives me so much more than RD ever did, and I appreciate that because I’m an information junkie!

Fleer is a famous name from my childhood. Dubble-Bubble bubble gum baseball and football cards.
Original formula, circa 1906, was called Blibber-Blubber. Wiki says except for bubble blowing it was “vastly inferior” to regular chewing gum. Reformulated and colored pink and marketed as Dubble-Bubble it became a success.
