Wednesday Word of the Day


Gimcrack \JIM-krak\, noun:

1. A showy but useless or worthless object; a gewgaw.

adjective:
1. Tastelessly showy; cheap; gaudy.

~So I'm guessing this would include faux jewels, but I have to say some faux baubles, while gaudy have an expression all their own. *wink* ~
