Hoopla, a Dip in the Road

We talked not long ago about that dip in the road or roller coaster that causes you to lose your stomach for a second.

Some people call it a thank you, ma’am. Some people call it a whoopsie-daisy.

And Jane Locken in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, wrote to add another to that list.

She said that when she was growing up in the La Crosse area of Wisconsin, everybody called that little dip in the road a hoopla.

A hoopla.

Yeah, so that’s like the French hoopla, where you say when you lift a kid up off the floor, a baby off the floor, or you’re hoisting something heavy.

Hoopla.
