Yeah, I thought so, too. The negative connotation of "fulsome" isn't part of the OED 1a definition, which does include the word "rich", and has examples like "Folowe fulsome feldes, abundaunt of frument".

Since there are a decent number of these quizzes now, could we get them in a series?

I swear I've seen fulsome in some Shakespeare play to mean fertile. I'm also pretty sure I've heard of fulsome crops... but I suppose excessively flattering is the more common meaning these days.

There's a grammatical error in the explanation for "fallow." Either "it" should be substituted for "them" or "fields" for "field."

The English language quizzes are usually one of my stronger areas but I have never heard of the word 'fungible' though a very large percentage of participants know it.

Is it used more in the States, or have I just not been paying attention?

Thanks, this is an enjoyable series.

It's the F in "NFT" (non-fungible token). It's mostly used in academic and economic discussions. You don't hear it much in common conversation (or, you didn't until the NFT thing started).

Thanks jmellor and Dimby, I'm off to look up 'non-fungible token' now - economics is not my strong point. :)

Feckless means ineffective or useless. It's a toss-up, to me, whether that's closer to irresponsible or socially awkward.

Can’t ever see ‘fatuous,’ without thinking of Thaddeus Stevens (played by the great Tommy Lee Jones) calling his fellow Congressman George Templeton a ‘fatuous nincompoop,’ in Steven Spielberg’s film ‘Lincoln.’
