noun:
1. Excessive or flashy ornamentation or decoration.
2. A fuss over a matter of little importance.
I don’t have much to say about this word except “what’s all the FOOFARAW?!” Ever since I read it, I notice it everywhere: Golden Globe Awards: foofaraw! Donald Trump: foofaraw! 3 year old tantrums: foofaraw! I think there might an associated smell with foofaraw, too, which the definition failed to mention. Another funny thing, Word spellcheck does not acknowledge this word, but it failed to recognize “blogger” too….
Everyone repeat after me, “what’s all the foofaraw?!”

From Answers.com
foo·fa·raw (fū’fə-rô’)
n.
Excessive or flashy ornamentation.
A fuss over a trifling matter.
[Probably from Spanish fanfarrón, boaster. See fanfaronade, and from French frou-frou, rustling (of imitative origin).]
So, it definitely IS a word! I am replacing all my “what’s the fuss?” questions of my child with this new version.
I like it, it sounds like Gabby Hayes.
