Word of the week - May 8

Kerri wins last week's word of the week because she's the only one to post a guess! I think it's time to move on to a new game...

I'll let you know when I've come up with something.

In the meantime, last week's word was "fustian" and it means:

fustian \FUHS-chuhn\, noun:
1. A kind of coarse twilled cotton or cotton and linen stuff, including corduroy, velveteen, etc.
2. An inflated style of writing or speech; pompous or pretentious language.

adjective:
1. Made of fustian.
2. Pompous; ridiculously inflated; bombastic.

Too bad really...I had a good word for this week...
