This is yet another of those fun words I so love, and this one comes with the added bonus of an unknown origin.
foofaraw (foo·fa·raw): / FOO fuh raw /
noun
(1) a great fuss over something trivial; a disturbance over a trifling matter
(2) an excessive amount of ornamentation or decoration; showy extravagance and flashy finery
[Etymology unknown.]
Usage: Everyone at the party mentioned the vulgar display put on by the foofaraw he was wearing, but we all talked about it in hushed tones and I doubt anyone told him he looked like a clownish buffoon.
