Fulsome: This term originally meant “abundant, generous, full” and it is
still used in that form. However, the meaning of this word has changed to mean
“excessive, effusive.” A fulsome society
was considered a good thing, but now it could suggest an excessive and corrupt
one. However, some have argued that the word is enjoying a renaissance and
should be used again in its positive sense. Decide what you will but be aware
of the possibility for misinterpretation.
