flummery

Oh, but surely if we have to call ourselves Wurzel-Flummery it would count as earned income.

The condition is that with this money—fifty thousand pounds—I take the name of—ah—Wurzel-Flummery.

My dear Mr. Crawshaw, you didn't think—you didn't really think that anybody had been called Wurzel-Flummery before?

The Flummery boys and ever so many more of the party are at the front with their regiments.

Money was squandered on useless court-flummery while men were toiling sixteen hours a day for bread.
