What it means

A Google Books Ngram Viewer chart tracks the word “tomfoolery” from 1800 to 2019. After declining for much of the 20th century, its usage suddenly rises sharply near the present day, jokingly suggesting that foolish behavior is making a comeback. It works as a reaction to increasingly absurd, chaotic, or ridiculous current events.
