what is a tuffet miss muffet
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary does not recognize the use of tuffet for a piece of furniture, and the Oxford English Dictionary says that it only perhaps means hassock or footstool, suggesting that this usage is due to a misunderstanding of the nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffet.
1 Muffet's name could come from the children's nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffet, in which a young girl eating cottage cheese is scared away by a spider.  Her flavor text alludes the poem The Spider and the Fly.
