The word for the week is brouhaha. I like this word because it is fun to say and it has a built in laugh. It's hard for me to stop after the second ha. I want to say brouhahahahaha.
We all need to start using this word more often, which I think would make the world a better place. Perhaps we could add haha to other words.
Please give me your creative definition of brouhaha.
A brouhaha is a noisy clamourous response to a stimulus, produced by a crowd. It can also refer to the reaction expressed over a period of time to an event. It usually carries negative connotations, the uproar being an utterance of discontent, however it has taken on a milder nuance and a 'brouhaha' may be used to describe a clamour arising for no good reason. Often used erroneously by sportscasters.
It originates from the French word of the same spelling.

Brouhaha: A concoction made by warlocks and witches (and witchdoctors) used for extracting teeth. When swallowed, it renders the victim helpless with uncontrollable fits of laughter accompanied by euphoria and painlessness. "Well Glinda, I'd love to try on those splendid ruby slippers of yours, but I have to finish brewing my Brouhaha; that scarecrow will be laughing too hard to think when I'm through with him."
I like the word for the week. It is a happy word that lends itself to an endless stream of laughter shoud one allow thwmselves to go there.
If I may be so bold as to suggest one of my favorite words...ok...I will anyway. I like the word boondoggle. If you say it over and over it lends itself to a rather cool beat. other creative things you can do with it is to say the word twice and add "bitty,bitty" repeating it as many times as desired. Don't be afraid to try your own variations such as "ba-da, ba-da" or "gimme, gimme". the pssibilities are limmited only by your imagination and the person on the other side of the cubicle wall. As a side note, I was never aware that an entire computer keyboard would even fit in my mouth.
