Gewgaw

from Word of the Day · host Word of the Day

Gewgaw is a noun that refers to a showy trinket. Our word of the day comes from Middle English and is typically used in the plural to refer to a bunch of worthless, but showy items. I’m not sure why my aunt Sheila holds on to all those gewgaws in her attic. She seems to think they’re worth something, but the truth is that for all their flamboyance, those items wouldn’t get a cent from a pawn shop.
