bagatelle (bag-uh-TEL) noun
1. Something unimportant.
2. A kind of pinball game in which balls are struck with a cue to send
them to holes at the other end.
3. A short, light piece of verse of music
I had always heard the term to mean also a motley collection of anything
Actually, I never heard bagatelle used to mean a "motley collection"... Most frequently the musical definition, and then "something unimportant". And I had no idea about the pinball game.
