Bagatelle
Archives: Word to the Wise
A “bagatelle” (bag-uh-TEL) – from the Italian – is a trifle, a thing of little or no importance.
Example (as used in The Guardian): “So if you eat at his restaurant every day – off the menu, of course – and slosh the grub down with a 1966 Chateau Margaux… even a Ritz bill will seem a mere bagatelle.”
