Hasn't he any right to use the double 'what' yet, and what does it mean, anyway? Tell us." "What, what!" demanded his lordship, a bit puzzled. "But that's it! What do you say 'What, what' for? It can't do you any good." "What, what! But I mean to say, you're having me on. My word you are spoofing, I mean to say. What, what! To be sure. Chaffing lot, you are!" He laughed.
Why, if it hadn't been for you jumpin' in, I expect we'd jawed away here for hours until we broke up in a free-for-all. Honest, you got the white dove of peace lookin' like a mad fish hawk." "Tut, tut!" says Alvin. "No spoofing, you know. Really, it takes very little to bring men together; for, after all, we are brothers. Only at times we forget."
Honest, it almost made me boil over when he asked me if anything was being done to educate the aborigines out here." "What did you do?" I asked. "Do?" said Petey. "Why, I answered his question, of course. I told him he wasn't fifty miles from a college this minute, and he said, 'Oh, I say now! Are you spoofing me? What's 'spoofing'?"
And now that Yancey had brought word of this last crushing indignity, they opened wide the spigots of wrath, all talked at once, and the sum total of their comments contained no single word that could be considered as complimentary to management of the war.

Beatrice would have insisted upon arriving in state. By this time the bridge club with its Russian sweetmeats, its six-hundred-dollar china plates, the new afternoon frock, and the spoofing of Trudy must be well under way!
It is hard to get the colyumist to admit this, for he fears spoofing worse than the devil; but it is eminently true.
Arm in arm, accordingly, they crossed the street and proceeded to the carrousel, first warning the cabby and myself to stay by them lest harm should come to us. What now ensued was perhaps their most remarkable behaviour at the day. At the time I could account for it only by the liquor they had consumed, but later experience in the States convinced me that they were at times consciously spoofing.

"London importation, my eye!" exclaimed Frank. "Why, Cohen's Emporium, on Main street, has the same thing in the window marked thirteen ninety-eight regular fourteen dollars." "Oh, I say now! Quit your spoofing!" "Give us some candy, Sis!" begged Will. "Come on, now, I know you've got it!" "I had it, we have it they had it thou hast it not!" quoted Grace, with a laugh.
