✅ A clown is a fool or a person who is rude and vulgar (Stop being such a clown!).

✅ A turkey is a person who is naive or inept (The promising new recruit turned out to be a turkey).

✅ Both clown and turkey describe foolish people who have bad judgment.

✅ Both words are also somewhat unkind ways to refer to someone, but they’re softer and less offensive words that you might use instead of a word like idiot.

✅ A quarrel is an angry disagreement (We had a quarrel, and I feel awful).

✅ A brannigan is a noisy quarrel or squabble (The fight was turning into a brannigan).

✅ Quarrel and brannigan, both refer to an argument or disagreement, and both words suggest anger or aggression.

✅ Brannigan also suggests an element of drunkenness, which may play into the noise level or anger of the quarrel.

✅ Yummy describes something that tastes particularly good (a yummy dessert).

✅ Scrumptious describes something that is very pleasing to the senses (a scrumptious fabric).

✅ Although both yummy and scrumptious can describe things that are appealing to any sense, they more often describe delicious food.

✅ Yummy is a more informal word than scrumptious, and can sometimes, but not always, seem a little childish.
