foo-foo
Pretentiously elaborate style
Foo-foo describes something excessively fancy, frilly, or pretentious—often with a hint of dismissiveness: I don't want any foo-foo cocktails, just give me a beer.
The term suggests unnecessary ornamentation or affectation, particularly in food, drinks, or décor that strikes the speaker as overly elaborate or precious.
