Word of the Day for Tuesday July 30, 2002: fanfaronade \fan-fair-uh-NAYD; -NOD\, noun: 1. Swaggering; empty boasting; blustering manner or behavior; ostentatious display. 2. Fanfare. George Manahan made his debut this week as music director of New York City Opera, and it is difficult to imagine someone laying claim to a major podium with less of a fanfaronade. --Justin Davidson, "A Director's Toil Pays Some Dividends," [1]Newsday, September 21, 1996 But like a demure singer in a long gown who is surrounded by chorus girls in sequined miniskirts, the statue may seem slightly lost amid the fanfaronade. --Richard Stengel, "Rockets will glare and bands blare to celebrate the statue," [2]Time, July 7, 1986 _________________________________________________________ Fanfaronade derives from Spanish fanfarronada, from fanfarrón, "braggart," from Arabic farfar, "garrulous."
