On my iGoogle page, I have a word of the day. Sometimes it's one I know, sometimes it's something new. Today, it was "gimcrack."
Gimcrack: a showy but useless or worthless object.
Everytime I saw it, I thought it was gimicrack. You know, like give me crack?
And it did. It gave me a chance to CRACK UP!! (Buh-dum-chhshh)
*Examples of gimcracks

But the real question is: Have you found an opportunity to use such a word? You will be making people wonder with that one. "By the way, I love your gimcracks." You're right. That really is funny!
I so needed a word for those things. People can get offended when I call it "junk." I am morally opposed to gimcracks.
