pandemonium

[sardith]

I was absolutely positive that you would have already covered this funny word, went to look it up in past entries and alas, no pandemonium. Help me out, Dr. Goodword, as my husband has been on an extended trip, and my household, the kids and animals included, are giving me plenty of pandemonium of my own!

Considering you comment about the family, I went
to Wiktionary and it says:

pandemonium (plural pandemoniums or pandemonia)

(archaic) A place where all demons live; Hell.
1674 — John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book I
And Trumpets sound throughout the Host proclaim
A solemn Councel forthwith to be held
At Pandæmonium, the high Capitol
Of Satan and his Peers.
Chaos; tumultuous or lawless violence.
2004, Boston Globe, October 22
Whenever you have violent pandemonium, there's the overwhelming possibility for panic and tragedy.
An outburst; loud, riotous uproar, especially of a crowd.


"A place where all demons live".. utter chaos,
please tell me it isn't so!!!

Riotous uproar is the thing I am experiencing, but Momma Bear is establishing order today!

Three cheers for Momma Bear.
Stop all the raucous frivolity. Hep, hep!
