I wonder how much are those new fandangling things cost.

Is Fandangling a word?


The noun, which means “useless ornamentation,” or “an ornate but useless ornament” dates back to 1835 and is thought to come from the Southern US, perhaps an alteration of fandango, a lively Spanish dance. Interestingly, the Urban Dictionary also lists fandangle as a verb, meaning ” to obtain by unscrupulous means.”
