word of the day: frou-frou

The word of the day is frou-frou:
Frilly dress and adornment; frivolous bedizenment (dictionary.com)


"The historic journey undertaken by a febrile and contumacious royal pack rat required a convoy of coaches to draggle her frou-frou, autograph albums, pharmacopoeia, and bric-a-brac through the countryside of her maternal granny's fabled escapades."

 - Karen Elizabeth Gordon, Out of the Loud Hound of Darkness: A Dictionarrative
