Assalamu Alaikum, [quote]What is Lollapalooza [/quote] Looked it up in google, seems to be some type of Alternative Music tour thingy.... check out http://www.lollapalooza.com/ Don't think it's a Muslim bumper sticker- probably an advertising mechanism for Lolla... WAllaahu A'lam, Wassalamu Alaikum, Deen :-) |

the word has been around a long time, although i doubt it is an official word in he dictionary. but the approx meaning is: something pushed to the limit or wild and fantastic. |

'The Oxford English Dictionary spells it "lalapaloosa," and defines it as "U.S. slang. Fanciful formation. Something outstandingly good of its kind." ' Also: 'Lollapalooza has become an American cultural institution. Designed as a celebration of the music and attitudes of the budding alternative nation, Lollapalooza is today an enormously lucrative traveling circus of mainstream rock giants. ' Next time I come across a really good post I think I'll use lalapaloosa to describe how good it was. Hey Halima this was a real Lalapaloosa post! |

[slm] I know this from my high-school, non-Muslim days .... Lollapalooza is like a modern Woodstock, only a little more "careful" if you know what I mean ? That is funny!!! :D |

[slm] All, Watching the Music Room on CNN, the word Lollapalooza was being mentioned like an everyday word. Thanks to all of you here who made me understand what it is. [wlm] Halima |
