The pancake was invented by the Dutch, who unlike their Belgian neighbors (who invented the waffle), were first to come up with the idea of putting a flour-based batter on a hot griddle. They also invented the term Smoke and a pancake?.

kerfuffle Fuffle was first used in Scottish English, as early as the 16th century, as a verb meaning to dishevel.. The addition of the prefix car- (possibly derived from a Scottish Gaelic word meaning wrong or awkward) didn't change the meaning of the word considerably. In the 19th century carfuffle, with its variant curfuffle, became a noun, and in the 20th century it was embraced by a broader population of English speakers and standardized to kerfuffle.
