Use the word "festooned" in a sentence.
Ballard:
Clearly you never had to read Class Clown in elementary school.
snalin:
Remember, good Christians, the pope does not want you to festoon. Being festooned is a cardinal sin!
pwhodges:
I refer you to my earlier post.
ViolentDove:
Guys, the Pope is a total hypocrite. Pope Pius IV enjoyed a good festoon as much as the next man.
--- Quote from: Museos Vaticanos ---Amid the Vatican Gardens, visible from the Museums' galleries leading to and from the Sistine Chapel, stands the Casina of Pius IV. The Casina was begun in 1553 by Pirro Ligorio and Sallustio Perruzzi, and completed between 1560 and 1562. This villa consists of four separate sections, with two pavilions and two arched gateways, connected by an oval inner court like an ancient nymphaeum, decorated with statues in the round, high reliefs, bas-reliefs, festoons, friezes, escutcheons and frames in stucco, where putti ride on waterspewing dolphins. It was here that Pius IV used to enjoy moments of peace and solitude. Also his nephew, St. Charles Borromeo, then Cardinal Secretary of State, held here his famous literary evenings.
--- End quote ---
Putti riding on waterspewing dolphins don't sound too family friendly, either. Not to mention escutcheons - sick bugger.
Tom:
Finally Lady Genevieve stood triumphantly, with smoking gun in hand, festooned with her lascivious husband's cerebral innards.
