fudge
Soft chocolate confection
Fudge is a soft, rich candy made from sugar, butter, and milk, often with chocolate or other flavorings.
The verb fudge means to present something in a vague or misleading way, especially to avoid commitment or hide the truth: The candidate fudged on the details of his tax plan.
To fudge numbers or facts is to manipulate them dishonestly.
As an exclamation, fudge is a mild substitute for fuck, expressing frustration or annoyance.
