issed Off!

From my earlier list of trials in the wake of Carnival week I omitted pick-pockets and those parasitic purveyors of gaudy gimcrack.

Enough alliteration already.

gimcrack, jim'krak, n. [Probably from Prov.E. gimp, gim, neat spruce and old crack, a pert boy; originally applied to a boy.] A trivial piece of mechanism; a toy; a pretty thing.
