At her confirmation, she was festooned with white satin ribbons, dressed as the Bride of Christ.

Actually, I'm recalling a memory from when I was 10 or so, of the confirmation of a Catholic cousin - yes, that  one.

I have no idea what "festooned" means?

I'm now going to look up "festooned" on Google.

A festoon is a string or garland, as of leaves or flowers, suspended in a loop or curve between two points.

Something that is festooned means that something was decorated with a festoon.

I learned what a festoon is today.

There once was a man from Spain
Who festooned till he was in pain
He festooned too much
Chopped off his crotch
And I do not know why I am making a little rhyme out of this I think it's very late and I'm quite sleepy.

I think "festooned", along with "droll" is one of those words where the definition is the exact opposite of what you think it means. I think that's because when I think of festooned, I think of fetid. Hm.

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.

Putti riding on waterspewing dolphins don't sound too family friendly, either. Not to mention escutcheons - sick bugger.

Post by: calenlass on 24 Jun 2009, 12:26

So now I am curious. What would be the difference between a bedroom and a bedchamber? Is a chamber more of the stone-walled variety, or does it just have nicer/more expensive things within, or is it grander, or what? Do you have to pronounce it in a british accent? Do you have to use other archaic words in the same sentence or passage, like "Well, I'm off to the bedchamber for a quick jape"?
