Definition highfalutin

Etymology

Possible alteration of high-fluting. In his book, The Adventure of English, Melvyn Bragg makes the unreferenced statement that in a nascent America, when the well-to-do travelled by steamboat, said passengers were referred to as highfalutin due to the high fluted funnels on the boats. Compare riffraff. Another speculation connects the term with high-flighting/-flying.
