Such an opinion may appear absurd and unreasonable, in consequence of the treatment the theologians have inflicted on what they call the Scriptures, and of which they have made, by means of their commentaries, explications, and meditations, a manual of errors, a library of absurdities, a magazine of foolery, a cabinet of lies, a gallery of stupidities, a lyceum of ignorance, a museum of silliness, and a repository of human imbecility and wickedness.
Colonel Nicholls had an acquisitive instinct; he was interested. "Well, well, gold and silver," he continued, "to fill the Nell Gwynn and another! And what concern is that of mine? Let your words come plain off your tongue; I have no time for foolery." "'Tis no foolery on my tongue, sir, as you may please to see."
A lot she told me, sitting in my lap and eating my dish, as I ate hers, from foolery—a lot about herself and her mother and Case, all which would be very tedious, and fill sheets if I set it down in Beach de Mar, but which I must give a hint of in plain English, and one thing about myself which had a very big effect on my concerns, as you are soon to hear.
The wildest history gathered round this absurd legend, not only among the Germans but wherever the "Teutonic theory" flourished, and the fatuous vanity of the North German was fed by the ceaseless acceptance of that legend on the part of those who believed themselves to be his kinsmen. They still believe it. In every day that passes the press of Great Britain reveals the remains of this foolery.
But what I say as a practical man is that it's just rank that's what it is! Bethany's had too much rope. The time's gone by for sentiment and all that foolery.

No publicity, God bless me, no.
"Yes; he's gone down the road with Kate Bernard to play tennis, or some such foolery." "With Kate?" "Rather! Didn't expect anything else, did you?" "Does he mean to marry that girl?" asked Ayre, with a face of great innocence, much as if it had just occurred to him. "Well, he can't, unless she chucks old Eugene over." "Will she, do you think?" "Well, I'm afraid not.

Cyril gravely poured her out a glass of foaming ale from a bottle that stood upon a little Indian bamboo-table, and handed it to her carefully over the silks, saying to me, 'Her majesty's elegant way of hinting that she likes to wet both eyes! Such foolery as this and at such a time irritated me sorely; but there was no help for it now.
But this was not very profitable work, and when he had quaffed his fill from a small rivulet of icy-cold water, he was conscious of the importance of going forward without any further delay. "I guess the best thing I can do is to get back in that ravine or pass without any more foolery. It looks as though the way was open ahead yonder."
Geoffrey tried to say something about kindness and womanly pity, but the strong old voice bore him down. "I know what pity looks like, and I know the other thing. She's no soft-heart to squinch at the sight of blood, and that sort of foolery.
