hullabaloo
Sep. 15th, 2022 07:34 amhullabaloo (HUHL-uh-buh-loo) - n, a clamor, a fuss, an uproar.
My second-favorite word for uproars -- so fun to say (and sing). This dates to around 1760, origin uncertain, suggestions include rhyming reduplication of hallo, holla, and Scots baloo/balloo, meaning lullaby.
