hoopla noun | HOO-plah Definition 1 : excited commotion : to-do 2 : exaggerated or sensational promotion or publicity : ballyhoo In French, the interjection houp-là is used roughly the same way as English's upsy-daisy or whoops-a-daisy, as one might say when picking up a child. (This usage can be found in English, too, in such works as Booth Tarkington's The Magnificent Ambersons and James Joyce's Ulysses.) When the word was borrowed into American English, however, it was to refer to a kind of bustling commotion, and later, as a term for sensationalist hype. In the early 20th century, another hoopla was in use as well. Playing on the syllable hoop, that word gave its name to a ring-toss game played at carnivals. Bit meh, this one: -

obsequious adjective | ub-SEE-kwee-us Definition : marked by or exhibiting a fawning attentiveness An obsequious person is more likely to be a follower than a leader. Use that fact to help you remember the meaning of obsequious. All you need to do is bear in mind that the word comes from the Latin root sequi, meaning "to follow." (The other contributor is the prefix ob-, meaning "toward.") Sequi is the source of a number of other English words, too, including consequence (a result that follows from an action), sequel (a novel, film, or TV show that follows and continues a story begun in another), and non sequitur (a conclusion that doesn't follow from what was said before). -

Thank you, that's very sweet! i'd make it with eggplant (we both love it.. personally i'd marry it) or zucchini along with some hi fibre pasta, neither of us like whole wheat pasta. We like whole wheat other things but not pasta. -

Sounds like a nice walk!! RE the tree ... i said in a recent poem that the ornamental olive trees we have here shed their leaves. AC took exception to that saying, they are evergreens. Really? I had to look that up of course (Reader and i may be related) and yes they are. Hmmm, so i looked at the ornamental olives which were indeed naked. Seems stress can cause them to shed their leaves... and i guess winter is enough to cause that. i wonder what kind of tree that is... odd it has sooo many leaves on it. -
