Generic name for any useless consumer gadget of the sort frequently sold on late-night infomercials. Commonly sold together with a tomato musher. Originally from the comic strip Bloom County. Opus was powerless to resist late-night TV hucksters and ended up with a living room full of turnip twaddlers.
"We'll sell you this amazing turnip twaddler for $29.95! But wait! There's more! We'll throw in this tomato musher ABSOLUTELY FREE! Now how much would you pay?"
Andrew went on the rampage at work this morning when the copier spit toner all over him -- he literally beat the living tweedle out of the poor, defenseless, helpless copy machine!
