Apploustouflade

Feminine noun · Crestignacian.

Definition

A loud and spectacular display of enthusiasm that achieves absolutely nothing, intended more to impress an audience than to move anything forward.

Example

“Madam President, the project is making little progress. Rather than indulging in another apploustouflade, we should copilation the decision-making bodies without delay.”

From the Annals

Crestignacians appreciate genuine joy, but remain suspicious of apploustouflades when action has yet to begin.
