Biden needs to brush up on his vocabulary!

He just say that a reply Roberts gave to Kennedy was "accurate but not fulsome." Presumably by 'fulsome' he meant . . . full. In fact fulsome has a very different meaning.

fulsome \FUL-sum\, adjective:
Offending or disgusting by overfullness, excess, or grossness; cloying; insincere or excessively lavish; esp., offensive from excess of praise.

Maybe Joe should start plagiarizing the Funk & Wagnall's.
