Examples of waffle in a Sentence
Mason County Sheriff Kim Cole:
One lady walked up to another lady and asked if she was in line for the waffle maker thing and the lady never answered her, so the first lady went and made a waffle, and when she went to go and take it this other gal tried to take it from her and that started the fight over the waffle.
Royalty TV co-founder Nick Bullen:
Family is incredibly important to the queen, a good example of that is the interview Prince Harry gave to James Corden in February. He revealed the queen bought his son Archie a waffle maker because that’s what her great-grandson wanted. This is a woman who is queen and yet she’s asking what her great-grandchild wants. Family is always on her mind.
My mother would be absolutely thrilled to be here, she loved getting anything. If she thought she could get something at a Waffle House in Secaucus, she would be there.
Waffle House is saying we should name the baby Waffleina, but it’s not going to happen.
He strongly opposed it, and he was one of the few that actually stood up -- and didn't waffle.
