Strifle.

It's not as bad as all that! It certainly couldn't be called strife! It's merely a strifle!

Mmm...chocolate-raspberry strifle soaked in port.

Strifle being distinct from trifle in that it is heavily soaked in liquor.

Well, trifle should have liquor, too, but strifle is clearly sufficiently liquored up to be a bit bellicose.

[mamapduck.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Trifle is "a nice brandy after dinner" kind of liquored, but strifle is more "sorority girls on Spring Break" level. I wonder if we could make it with Everclear?

I just assumed it was a new kind of dessert. ;) One which I would probably like.

It's trouble, but it's such a CUTE little trouble...

You could also strifle someone's creativity - like stifling, but with a little more violence.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Ooh, could I?

That sounds like the sort of domestic dispute where you fling desserts instead of crockery - although I like the 'fighting-drunk trifle' definition above, as well.
