“This word deserves a revival,” this is how Anand Mahindra started his latest share that talks about a particular ‘17th century’ word. In his tweet, he explained the reason why this word should be more in use. The word is “Spuddle”. Do you know what it means? If not, after knowing its meaning, you may find it highly relatable.

“This word deserves a revival. Most known to happen mid-week, especially in post-pandemic times! Solutions solicited for how to quickly get out of a ‘spuddle’ moment at work…,” Mahindra wrote in his post. He also shared an image that shows the meaning of the word.

“TOPICS word of the day... Spuddle: a useful verb from the 17th century that means to work feebly and ineffectively, because your mind is elsewhere or you haven't quite woken up yet. To be extremely busy whilst achieving absolutely nothing,” it reads.

Take a look at the tweet by Anand Mahindra:
