Sue’s considered trifles is a blog about words, sayings and idioms, particularly those in vogue during Sue’s childhood.  Little new material is being posted here – links to archive posts and new pages (of book reviews, for example).

Sue also blogs on Sue’s Trifles : tasty writing surprises (non-fattening!) and Sue’s words and pictures: writing and snapshots.  If you follow this blog, you might wish to transfer your allegiance to one or both the others.

The title of this post, as you probably know, is from the saying “Many a true word is spoken in jest”.  The first of the archive posts is about fun and jokes; the second has more to do with truth.
