That’s one lollapalooza of a word!
I thought that Lollapalooza was a just a cool name for a music festival, so when I heard my mother use the word in a context having nothing to do with music or a festival, I had to look it up.
I thought the spelling was lalapalooza and to be sure, that is a variant spelling of it. Webster’s New World Dictionary points me to the correct spelling and defines this term as a noun, meaning something or someone very striking or exceptional.
