OP Tsuwm's wwftd is putz, which has to be used with discretion, since it can be an actively resented insult.
But I remembered that the German word is quite acceptable, meaning "finery", such as jewelry or stylish clothing. To check this, I searched and found an excellent German-English dictionary I had not seen before. I would have sent it to MaxQ, but if I understand him, he has filled the space he had vacant.
German English dictionary:
