Word of the week - May 1

So - no action on the Word of the Week for last week, aside from Kristina who broke the rules by looking "brummagen" up in the dictionary. I think I stumped you! That or you're already bored by the exercise in which case you need to visit I am Bored - see post below - for some inspiration.

For the record, brummagen means:

Cheap and showy, tawdry; also, spurious, counterfeit.

This week's word - and I expect lots of activity on this one - is fustian. It can be either a noun or an adjective.

Good luck!

As a noun: rope or twine used to affix ships to docks.
