Is nonsense a synonym for blunder?

No, "nonsense" and "blunder" are not synonyms. While they can be related, they have distinct meanings:

* Nonsense: Means something that is absurd, meaningless, or illogical. It refers to the content or meaning of something.

* Example: "The idea that the Earth is flat is complete nonsense."

* Blunder: Means a careless mistake, a serious error in judgment, or a clumsy action. It refers to an action or behavior.

* Example: "The team's blunder in the final minutes cost them the game."

Here's an analogy:

* Nonsense is like a *bad story* that doesn't make sense.

* Blunder is like a *clumsy mistake* in the story, like a character tripping and falling.

While a blunder might lead to a nonsensical outcome, the words themselves have different meanings.
