Can one just have a fangled idea, without it being new?

I think it is somewhere between New Brunswick and Newfoundland. Down near Trinity Bay.
Actually, there is some dispute as to the origin of this word. In windmills, a fangle is a gear tooth. I would imagine then, that new fangled would be to have the teeth sharpened or replaced. Then there is the word Fangol which means inclined to or fond of new things.

I could really use a new fangle right now. I would even settle for an old fangle. Badfangled day, know what I mean?
Thank you Man with a Plan. Your answer made me laugh and I wasn't sure anything could tonight. I must not be dead yet.

♫ I knew a word fangled and it worked for you
In worn out dictionaries
Silver bangles, a ragged cover, and teachers too
The old word fangled
it was so right
it was so right
Then replaced
new fangled
new fangled
new fangled
newwwww ♫
(To the tune ♫ Mr. Bojangles♫ ....and it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.)

I went to see my boss and told him I was disgruntled.
I demanded changes that would leave me semi-gruntled, at least.
But he refused to take the blame for my lack of gruntledness, saying: 'If you're disgruntled, either find your grunt or install a new one.'
I'm beginning to doubt if I'll ever be truly, deep-down gruntled.

It can only be new otherwise it's history. Don't know where it came from, did you Google yet?

It has to do with puppies losing their baby teeth
