1. Sounds painful

when you think about it.

2. It's kind of like a brouhaha...

...just with less pizzazz.

[motely36]

3. So a brouhaha ranks higher than a shindig?

I never knew that.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

5. Oh, definitely.

A brouhaha is a lot more violent than a shindig.

And it doesn't have music.

[RebelOne]

4. According to the dictionary, it is a festive party or celebration.

6. It is from the shinscraper dance

Anybody know how to do it?
Anybody wonder how many shins a shindig would dig if a shindig could dig shins?
