Word of the Day for Wednesday, August 19, 2009furbelow \FUR-buh-low\, noun: 1. A pleated or gathered flounce on a woman's garment; a ruffle. In a season of ruffles, frills and furbelows, simple cuts in neutral shades stand out. Patience is required to get past some of the director's more baroque cinematic touches, decorating the story's dark center with visual furbelows . . . and aural gimmicks. It is a story that, for all its hyper-animatedness, all its flips and furbelows of style, is confusing and wearisome. Furbelow is perhaps an alteration of Italian faldella. | |||||||||
