But the word is also used, particularly in the expression fulsome praise, to mean simply "abundant," without any implication of excess or insincerity. So the Manolo he is not wrong! =) From The Freedictionary: Fulsome is often used to mean “offensively flattering or insincere.” But the word is also used, particularly in the expression fulsome praise, to mean simply “abundant,” without any implication of excess or insincerity.

Little do we expect such cack-handed errors from you. Oh Manolo, surely you are aware that “fulsome” means “cloying, disgustingly excessive, insincere”.

Has the Guardian indeed discovered the Manolo? One shudders to think what they must make of him; no doubt they display the iron incomprehension of the dog gazing upon the Parthenon. Anyway, congratulations to the Manolo, and it is hoped that many, many copies of his book will be bought and read avidly.
