In an attempt to ad lib and segue from one story to another, a local TV station’s anchorman accidentally comes on to the weather broadcaster, gets turned down and reveals he doesn’t know the meaning of the word “canoodle.”
In this undated blooper reel from CTV News, the male anchor switches from a story where an interviewee was talking about “canoodling in Union Bay” to the weather forecast, but makes his transition between the two using the word “canoodle.”
“It’s time now for a full look at your forecast with Astrid, maybe we can canoodle before you get into it …” he said dropping off toward the end and realizing just what he suggested.
The response: “We’re not going to canoodling. What?”
The weather broadcaster is effectively shutting down the suggestion they canoodle. (Image: YouTube screenshot)
Quick thinking saves the anchor as he says “I thought canoodle meant chat.” But this face in the screen capture below right after he made the suggestion reveals he knew exactly what canoodle meant.

“Astrid, you‘re lucky there’s a producer in my ear. I would have carried that on and on,” he said.
“You know what, you just made the blooper reel,” Astrid said, graciously giving the anchor an out to end the awkward moment. “Good job, Andrew.”
This face on Andrew screams please "get me off camera." (Image: YouTube screenshot)
Watch the blooper, which has begun going viral on the web, for yourself:

Posted on August 23, 2012 at 6:04pmCrackerone,
Of course, it also means this,
“To win over or convince by cajoling or flattering; wheedle: “his matchless ability to charm, bamboozle, or canoodle most of his political associates” (Timothy Garton Ash).
So it sounds like the “editors” at TheBlaze.com didn’t do their research before they published. In that respect, they’re no different than the rest of what passes for journalists these days. Does anyone even crack a dictionary anymore? It’s got all sorts of useful information. Try it.

Posted on August 23, 2012 at 1:58pmCome on guys. He did NOT know what canoodling is and you CAN’T see it in his face after he said it. He wants to “canoodle about. . . something.” You chat about something. You don’t canoodle about something. You just canoodle. He wants to canoodle about something so he doesn’t really know what it means. Cut the poor dude some slack.

Posted on August 23, 2012 at 3:16pmExactly! He mentioned that he had the producer in his ear. Likely he had no idea what the word meant, and seconds after saying that line, had the producer telling him that he just messed up big.

Posted on August 23, 2012 at 1:29pmCanoodle has more than one meaning: Politicians “canoodle” each other for position and favors, such as cajoling and lobbying, etc. Maybe he was trying to canoodle her into canoodling with him? Is that a double entendre?

Posted on August 23, 2012 at 2:41pmWith politicians they are willing to canoodle or be canoodled to get what they want. So actually canoodle does mean exactly what most people think it means. Politicians are the nasty canoodler’s on the planet.

Posted on August 23, 2012 at 2:44pmOh, I’ve used that word lots of times. I guess it gives away my age.
It’s actually catawampus but people say catywampus all the time.
cat·a·wam·pus /ˌkætəˈwɒmpəs/ [kat-uh-wom-puhs] Chiefly Midland and Southern U.S.
adjective
1. askew; awry.
2. positioned diagonally; cater-cornered.
Jacked up according to a regular dictionary, and how I have always used it is:
1. transitive verb lift something with jack: to use a jack to lift a heavy object, especially a motor vehicle, off the ground
2. transitive verb increase amount of something: to increase something, especially a price or salary, often to an unreasonably high level
3. transitive and intransitive verb inject illegal drugs: to inject a drug, especially heroin, intravenously ( slang )
But the newer definations are injured, ruined, broken, abnormal, crazy, insane, weird, displeasing, rude, not proper, in poor condition, high on drugs, bad idea, wrong.

Posted on August 23, 2012 at 12:26pmBuddy Hackett used the term “Canoodling” in the film “The Music Man” – its been around for a while, Since he was playing a turn of the century stable hand, its probably much older. (assuming he was accurately depicting 18th century terminology)

Posted on August 23, 2012 at 11:44amNo, you’re mistaken, that’s called “noodling” when you fish with your hands. “Canoodling” is when you go out fishin‘ for somethin’ else, with your girlfriend, if ya know what I mean.
