‘Waffle’ the noun and ‘waffle’ the verb are not etymologically related.
The noun is related to the Old English ‘wefan,’ which means “to weave.”
The verb is related to the English ‘woff,’ which means “to yelp.”
FWIW: we never waffle on eating waffles.

![You’ve talked about passing the baton in the loop of life. How do you want Hideo Kojima to be remembered when you pass it on?
I am not going to pass the baton to anyone. I will rather crush the baton… [Laughs.] I don’t need to give “Hideo Kojima” to anyone. If I pass the baton to my staff and tell them to make things the same way I do, the company will not succeed and will go out of business.
What do you mean by that?
Every day, if I tweet something that I like, a director or an actor or a musician contacts me. They say, “I’m a creator because of your games.” But they didn’t receive the baton of Hideo Kojima. They received my small fire. They’re not copying me. They’re not trying to be me. They have this fire, and they light up their own. And they’ll probably give that to someone else. There were legendary comic book artists when I was a boy. I didn’t become a comic book artist – I was inspired by them, I was influenced.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qxkeykszpqoob6dotcmifvur/bafkreihrf3nwfnjknhjmlcfuugqqodtxsfrs4ql47ezppmzn33np43azka@jpeg)

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.
