froth
Light airy bubbles
Froth is the mass of small bubbles that forms on the surface of liquids, whether from agitation, fermentation, or chemical reaction.
Beer develops a frothy head when poured; ocean waves leave froth on the shore.
The verb froth means to produce such bubbles: The cappuccino machine frothed the milk perfectly.
Figuratively, froth suggests something insubstantial or trivial beneath an appealing surface—the frothy plot of a romantic comedy, or media froth that distracts from serious news.
