Word of the Day: FUBS

ETYMOLOGY
onomatopœic: suggested by full, chub, etc.

EXAMPLE
“… Caspia the decrepit old rich Croot,
Whose face (th’antiquity of time bewraying)
Is riueld like a ruffled summer Boot;
Shee that’s in all things, but in wealth, decaying:
Caspia, that same fowle deformed Fubs,
Who neuer needs feare coughing out her teeth,
(For she hath none, but a few Holly-stubs)
She that should think of nothing now but death;
Maugre th’imperfections of her Age…”
