hoo-ha

noun

Etymology: Perhaps from Yiddish הו־האַ (hu-ha, “a hullabaloo”). The second sense is likely expressive; compare such similar terms in other languages as Spanish juju.

1. A fuss, an uproar, a commotion or stir; hype; brouhaha, hullabaloo.

   “There was a big hoo-ha about it in the papers, and then the world completely forgot the matter.”

   “Tucker Carlson (also a jacket and tie guy) picked up on the hoo-ha on his Fox News show, calling the hoodie-jacket combination a “cry for help” and inviting Roger Stone, the disgraced former political operative and author of his own “Best and Worst dressed List,” to comment.”

2. The vagina, the vulva.

   “Did that make her a good judge of character, or a fool who was letting her hoo-ha do her thinking for her?”

   “She didn't want to lose their childish battle of wills, but neither did she want some parasite swimming up her hoo-ha.”
