Puckfist

Archaic words often sound more colorful and descriptive to me than contemporary expressions. I was looking for synonyms of "pulverize" for icon names and there on the facing page was:

puckfist n syn  see BRAGGART

It seemed out of place somehow. Apparently I suppose that thesauruses contain only unremarkable words. The OED also lists "puckfist" as pukfist, puckfoyst, and puckfoist and defines it as 1) A puffball [mushroom] or 2) A term of contempt for an empty braggart.

I like it.
