afroth

Covered with froth, foam.

Fine the horses, with flying manes and tight lithe bodies, shoulders sweating, muscles rippling, mouths afroth.

Like an underwater detonation, the pool was afroth with flapping and splashing.

Full of, or covered with something.

The charms of a blue-eyed chestnut-haired maiden in a turquoise muslin, with a brown boa, and a brown chip hat afroth with brown feathers, could not be gainsaid.

[…] Ebenezer Cooke […] who […] had learned the knack of versifying, and ground out quires of couplets after the fashion of the day, afroth with Joves and Jupiters, aclang with jarring rhymes, and string-taut with similes stretched to the snapping-point.

Excited.

Last Saturday, the day before the Oscars, when the entire fashion world was afroth about which starlet was planning to wear what the next night, a small item in The New York Times caught our eye.

The weighty editorial page of The Times of London doesn't make a habit of devoting thought to the travails of pop singers, whose exploits now more than ever keep the red-top British tabloids afroth.
