Another new one I've never heard before!
Sounds like something my grandmother would say.. and probably does.
What a word. I bet if I dropped in randomly into a sentence, people would say I was just making it up.
I've never heard anything like this! Such an amazing thing to say! *tohu bohu*... I need to think about a way or situation to use this, it's just so wonderful.
I wish I could pull off a word like that. Just casually say something like "oh shutup! That's just all tohu-bohu!"But I bet it would go all wrong and I'd start giggling at myself or muddle the words together and be like.."no wait...was it bohu-tohu? Or maybe it was tohi-bohi...well, anyways...that's just all to-something..."M. x
what a fun word! I am afraid I will forget it but I want to use it.
i'm so glad some one is writing this up; my mother used the phrase 'what utter tohuwabohu' when coming home from work and surveyong the house my brother and me had 'played' in. I think as she was German she picked up the usage from people using jiddish.
