Accoutrement

What an absolutely charming way to describe stuff! It makes everyday “things” seem much more important:

It’s not a pile if junk, it’s “assorted accoutrement”!

It’s not a bunch of crap, it’s “a stunning array of accoutrement”!

It’s not a load of old tat, it’s “every accoutrement you could ever need”!

What’s not to love about a word that makes you feel witty, worldly, and well-heeled. It’s what’s commonly referred to in some circles as a 50 cent word, giving any boring old sentence an air of style and grace.

Put on your fancy dress with your best accoutrements and lets go out on the town!

Mama made pot roast with all the accoutrements! Yum!

Our new car came with all the modern accoutrements – we’re so spoiled!

Accoutrement good! So very, very good!
