Same as FIDDLE-BOW. This word is frequently used as an interjection, and is equivalent to nonsense! pshaw! or other exclamation expressive of contemptuous incredulity, denial, or the like. "At such an assertion he would have exclaimed, A fiddle-stick! Why and how that word has become an interjection of contempt I must leave those to explain who can."-Southey.
