I got yer WOD right here!

Bag`a`telle' Pronunciation: [The symbols don't work, it's obvious, but go to The Free Dictionary if you must see it. One of my Finnish dictionaries (Berlitz) would say "baeg-ah-tayl" if that helps (hmm, the Finnish word for 'bag' is 'pussi'--hmm).]
Noun 1. bagatelle - a light piece of music for piano
musical composition, opus, piece of music, composition, piece - a musical work that has been created; "the composition is written in four movements"
2. bagatelle - something of little value or significance
frippery, frivolity, fluff
small beer, trivia, triviality, trifle - something of small importance
3. bagatelle - a table game in which short cues are used to knock balls into holes that are guarded by wooden pegs; penalties are incurred if the pegs are knocked over
bar billiards
table game - a game that is played on a table.

I'm not sure which meaning The Probligo was referring to in the comment to the previous post; they all seem to fit.
