Word of the Day – Frippery

By October 23, 2015Word of the Day

Frippery (adj)

frip-uhr-ee

Showy or unnecessary ornament in architecture, dress, or language.

This just sounds lovely, I think it needs a properly rolled r to achieve its full effect but then  that would be mere frippery.

Example sentences

“Her home is filled with flounce and frippery, there’s not  single uncluttered surface!”

“All legal documents are full of completely essential small print fripperies.”
