Today's Word "foofaraw"
foofaraw \FOO-fuh-raw\ (noun) - 1 : Excessive or flashy ornamentation or decoration. 2 : A fuss over a matter of little importance. "A thousand pardons should you find this letter so soon tiresome in its self-aggrandizing. All this brooding over one's place in posterity, the foofaraw of these last things, December's fanfaronade. I can conceive of nothing more wearying than to dwell upon pelultimacy, as as it is the imminent state of one's own." -- Bruce Olds, 'Bucking the Tiger' Foofaraw is perhaps from Spanish fanfarrón, "a braggart."
