garblings

Also, he gave amazing garblings of my tales to our playmates, until all began to look upon me queerly.

There may be other garblings.

Haldingjar seems to a garblings of Haddingjar.

Her review nowhere recognized that the book's chockablock prose - with its puns, one-liners, strangled phrases, antic garblings - joins a long and lovely American tradition, some of whose stars are James Thurber, S. J. Perelman and Peter De Vries.
