... was once used as a name for the fluffy or inflated looking cotton garments worn by some back in the renaissance days. By the 18th century, with a twist of the imagination, the word started being used to describe INFLATED (grandiloquent, pretentious, etc...) speech or writing. But when we use extensions of the term here, I'm pretty sure we are trying to describe music characterized by an "inflated" or grandiloquent style. So, "poofy" = inflated or "bombastic"... get it?
