architrave

suave, cool, with swag, if you will

derived from the the italian architrave to describe a lintel that rests upon the capital of a column, a feature in Classical architecture--for the intelligentsia, a way to show off your superficial art history vocabulary to describe something hip

Maddie: Jared, that picture of you at the Musee D'Orsay is so poetic, so architrave.
Newbs: ??????
Jared: Touche.
