American Oxford Thesaurus

rumpus

rumpus noun See ruckus. WORD NOTE rumpus Certain authors have laid claim to certain words, for this and successive generations, and perhaps for all eternity. I cannot hear the word rumpus (and in truth I rarely do hear it ) without thinking of Maurice Sendak's children's classic, Where the Wild Things Are. It's what the grinning, merry monsters say —"Let the wild rumpus start "—as they begin their joyous, abandoned merrymaking with the intrepid voyager, little Max. What's interesting, at least to me, is that the word instantly conjures up the accompanying image, and that the sound of it (a sound which, before I read the book, probably had no effect on me at all ) inevitably fills me with the same giddy, heady, profound delight that I feel each time I look at Sendak's illustration. — FP Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
