SYLLABUB
15
Definition
Pronunciation: //ˈsɪ.lə.bʌb//
noun
- (dated, figuratively) Something lacking substance; something frothy, insubstantial, or lightweight."I like Paul's plain style best. Better to feed the appetite of the hungry, than to tickle the fancies of the whimsical. This breed of preachers are apt soon to preach themselves out of breath, and come to nothing. May you and I never be the retailers of such whipt-syllabub divinity—better keep a cook's-shop to satisfy the craving appetite, than a confectioner's-shop to regale the depraved appetite of the dainty. Good brown-bread preaching is the best after all."
