who is tom foolery?
TOMFOOLERY is 'foolish or silly behavior.'. âTomfooleryâ is, as you might guess, the behavior of a âtomfool,â that is, a foolish or stupid person; a silly fool. (I love this part.) A âtomfoolâ was originally âTom Fool,â with âTom,â a nickname from âThomas,â being a stereotypical male given name.
