A dessert that calls itself meaningless then layers cake, custard, and booze to spite you.
means A thing of little value or importance — or a layered English dessert of sponge, custard, fruit, and cream.
from From Old French 'trufle,' a diminutive of 'trufe,' meaning mockery or a tall tale — a thing said in jest. The sense slid from 'idle joke' to 'idle trinket,' and the dessert arrived later, the name a wink at how slight and indulgent it is.
