literally - messing about with, doing something without knowing how to do it and using trial and error, fiddling with, winging it, tampering with, jury rigging
He was faddling about trying to mend it without knowing what he was doing.
I can't get this to work, you have a faddle with it.
Stop faddling with that before you break it.
I cant make it fit properly so I'll have to faddle it.

1. I don't have time for all this fiddle-faddle.
2. I don't have time to fiddle-faddle with all these meaningless arguments.

A group, consisting of at least 3 little people, also known as midgets. A fiddle faddle is a very rare occurrence in the modern world, thus viewing such a group should be celebrated and documented.
Be careful...a fiddle faddle is nothing to mess with. Be sure to wear approrpate shin and foot protection when encountering such a group, as they are most commonly known to be aggressive. Spotters most frequently report injuries sustained from the elusive fiddle faddle including bitten and bruised shins, as well and mangled toes, and sometimes even a head-butted groin.
If you can capture a picture of a fiddle faddle in the wild, you must report it to national geographic and post it on as many social networking sites as possible, to share your find with the rest of the world. (you might get some good money for it, ooooo!)
Good places to spot a fiddle faddle of midgets include: in and around circuses, las vegas, hollywood, the great plains of Africa, and in choice locations around europe and alaska. (eskimo fiddle faddles are an endangered species).

On a safari:
Ryan: "Hey, did you see that herd of elephants?"
Katie: "No, I was too busy tracking the fiddle faddle. A most incredible experience...there were over fifty midgets frolicking in the tall grass...simply amazing!!!!"
Ryan: "Wow, I hope you got them on camera...nobody is going to believe you."
Katie: "Of course I did"
