Word of the Day for Thursday, October 2, 2008donnybrook \DON-ee-brook\, noun: 1. A brawl; a free-for-all. But this was the beginning of Tommy's years of fighting back, a period that ended in a donnybrook conducted all over the O'Connor house. Wine and talk flow freely, so much so that the meal ends with a Rooney family donnybrook over, typically enough, religion and politics. The author finds few villains in "West Virginia's Battle of the Books," which describes a donnybrook over the content of public school textbooks during the mid-70's in the "seemingly placid community" of Charleston, W.Va. A donnybrook is so called after Donnybrook, Ireland, a suburb of Dublin that once held an annual fair known for its brawls. | |||||||||
