Nice work capturing these items.
Gewgaw derives from Middle English giuegaue. It is a gradational compound of uncertain origin, perhaps akin to the Middle French and French term gogo, as in the adverb à gogo meaning “as much as you like; to your heart's content; galore.” It's been used in English since the late 12th century or the early 13th century.

Oooooh, it would really be cool to change their name to guiegaue.

Wonderful name, gewgaw, and pretty darned descriptive. I wonder its etymology.

Bob, that image of the Great Dane would be an excellent pattern for one of those large black flat iron sillouettes one often sees along the road side. Also would be a nice imprint for a business card for folks raising Danes. This is another example of your excellent work. Thanks.
Thank you Rodeoman, I like your imagination and think those applications would truly be fitting.

A bit shorter than the other guy, but every bit as distinguished.

Some breeds are distinguished (and distinguishable), even in silhouette.
