Fanfaron

A fanfaron
isn't a fan baron,
nor a fan of Aaron,
or a baby heron.
But a boaster named Aaron,
and a bragging baron,
could both be called fanfarons.

Every week I
rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner
nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've
heard.
I'm trying to think about how prissy it would sound if I called someone that in public.
ReplyDelete"Cease your rascality you fanfaron!", and then I would smack him with my white silk glove or something.
LOL. I think you'd fit right in at the polo fields! :P
DeleteI'm with Bryan on this one...I could only imagine the looks I would get saying that word in public LOL. Good job Rachel ☺
ReplyDeleteHehe. We would definitely get some looks, but it would be fun! Thanks for visiting Mary. :)
DeleteI've met a few in my day. This was fun to read and I learned a new word;)
ReplyDeleteUse it wisely! LOL. Thanks for visiting, Leah. :)
DeleteAnother new one on me! Yes, I've known quite a few of these types in my time . . .
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I'm glad you enjoyed the new word, Martha! Thanks for visiting. :)
DeleteMy dear Rachel,
ReplyDeleteHow did you come up with this?? (LOL). Of course I will never dream of saying it out loud but it is truly funny. Thanks for giving me a good laugh!!
You are quite welcome for the laugh! Now if you ever meet a boasting baron, you'll know he's a fanfaron. :P
DeleteA brag! So well put!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rimly! Nice to see you here. :)
DeleteAre you calling me a fanfaron? :P
ReplyDeleteI know, I was just messing with you. Sorry. :) xo
ReplyDeleteI will call someone a "fanfaron" this week.
