fulsome on dictionary.com has a 3rd definition of: "3. excessively or insincerely lavish: fulsome admiration."

I knew exactly what the word meant when I wrote it; there's no need for you to condescend.

So you're saying Augustine's prayer was "insincere?"

The definition of fulsome is: "disgusting or offensive, esp. because excessive or insincere, as 'fulsome praise.'"

You don't want "fulsome praise." It is, by defintion, insincere and offensive.

And I sure wouldn't want my prayers to be labeled as "fulsome."

FWIW, I thanked the person who corrected me on this so I never had to make that mistake again.
