frosting

What does frosting have to do with anything you say? I say a great deal. Maybe it's the glue that holds the presentation together. Or perhaps a frosting allows something to look more extraordinary.

Today, I'm just thinking about all the ways gloss and glitz (see below) i.e frosting covers everything. A mind can go any number of places musing on this subject.

\ˈglits\

noun

perhaps modification of German glitzern to glitter, from Middle High German glitzen; akin to Old Norse glitra to glitter
