Florrid

Florrid: verb. To be florrid is to be fancy to the point of ugliness. While the word was originally used to describe architecture (particularly that of the Baroque era), the simplicity that architecture embraced in the early twentieth century effectively gave the word a choice between change and death. The word florrid survived thanks to the advent of plastic surgery and is now mostly applied to people with bad 'face-jobs.'
