Gérard I know them all apart from Gaudy (voyant) and Scrawny (Décharné)
Anyway i don't understand why gaudy synonym is "scrawny, skinny, thin" and antonym "overweight and plump"

Gaudy
Scrawny, skinny, thin >>><<< Overweight, plump

Muriel, this is ridiculous except for people who consider a model is the most wonderful person.
"Gaudy" means "tape-à-l'oeil" and certain people use the word as beautiful, hence slender, slim, etc.
This association b/n gaudy and Scrawny, skinny, thin is not understandable.

Muriel, I asked Krystyna who told me she never heard about "gaudy" (her pronunciation is weird -like gordy-) except about ugly marriage of colors... but she was busy solving a problem when I asked.
