用法
The word fulsome is often used, particularly in the expression fulsome praise, to mean simply 「abundant,」 without any implication of excess or insincerity. This usage is etymologically justified but may invite misunderstandings in contexts in which a deprecatory interpretation might also be available. The sentence I offer you my most fulsome apologies may unintentionally raise an eyebrow, where the use of an adjective like full or abundant would leave no room for doubt as to the sincerity of the speaker's intentions.
單詞fulsome 經常使用， 尤其在表達溢美之辭 時， 只表「豐富」而沒有「過分或虛偽」的意思。根據詞源學判斷此用法是有道理的，但卻會在一些場合得到貶義的解釋而引起誤會。如我對你抱歉到家了 ，這句話會無意中使對方皺起眉頭， 若是此處用full 或 abundant 之類的形容詞， 就不會使聽者對於說話者誠摯道歉的意圖產生懷疑了
