Dishullabaloo

Created by: OZZIEBOB

Pronunciation: dish-ulla-BA-loo

Sentence: There was nothing like a dish cloth for wiping the contented looks off the faces of Marita and Michael, Roxie and Bob's teenage children. For them that was a enough to start a dishowdown. Marita was potemical; Michael was clearly a misodishiac, and discussion always ended in a howling dishullabaloo with the dirty dishes remaining in the sink. Bob decided the solution was to buy a dishwasher rather than be one.

Etymology: Blend of dish & hullabaloo(uproar) Potemical (pot + polemical)
