Words: doozy [AHED]

SYLLABICATION: doo·zy
VARIANT FORMS: or doo·zie
NOUN: Inflected forms: pl. doo·zies
Slang Something extraordinary or bizarre: “Among the delicious names taken by, or given to, minor political parties in the United States . . . are these doozies: Quids, Locofocos, Barnburners, Coodies, Hunkies, Bucktails” (Saturday Review).
ETYMOLOGY: Possibly blend of daisy and Duesenberg, a luxury car of the late 1920s and 1930s.

(I found out this word origin from my trusty AHED in grad school while writing a review of the movie The Stuntman, in which they wrecked two Duesies.)
