CNN guy: "...now more on this continental kerfluffle."

Did CNN just say "kerfluffle"?

Alliteratively?

Today is a weird day.

I'm pretty sure "kerfuffle" is the original word, and somehow online people (whether fandom or just bloggers in general) morphed that into "kerfluffle" and now both terms are used...

In any case, I know for a fact that Eddie Izzard used "kerfuffle" in one of his comedy shows back in the mid nineties. "What on earth is this kerfuffle about?" Or something in that vein. I think it's in Unrepeatable. So, it's not as odd as you think.

Hearing "fen" on the news, however, would make me WTF to infinity. *g*
