WTF?
Did I miss something?
I must have, I miss just about everything.
Here is what foppish is defined as by dictionary.com:
obsolete : foolish, silly2 a: characteristic of a fop foppish dressing gown> b: behaving or dressing in the manner of a fop
I particauly love when definitions use the word itself in the definition, as in above.
So what is a fop?
"Fop became a pejorative term for a foolish man over-concerned with his appearance and clothes in 17th century England." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fop)
Perhaps the best part of this little search thing was the discovery of THIS amazing tidbit at the bottom of the wiki page:
"FOP ROCK- A more recent and minor trend is "fop-rock," in which the performers don 18th century wigs, lace cravats, and similar costumes to perform, a minor movement that would appear to owe something to glam rock, visual kei, and the New Romantic movement.Fop Rock: Fop out with your lace out.
