Boffo...
 
I am subscribed to A Word A Day, and today's word was...

Quote:
boffo (BOF-o) adjective

1. (Of a movie, play, or some other show) Extremely successful.

2. (Of a laugh) uproarious, hearty.

noun

1. A great success.

2. A hearty laugh.

3. A gag or punch-line that elicits uproarious laughter.

[Of uncertain origin. Probably a blend of box office or an alteration
of buffo, bouffe, or boffola. The term was popularized by Variety,
a magazine for the U.S. entertainment industry.]

"And until Apple records a boffo holiday season for the mini, it can't
officially be called a runaway success."

"His (Patrick Brown's) problem seems to me to be the demands of the
production group of which he is a part and which requires a boffo hit
every time in order to keep the auditorium packed ..."

Thought the vB.org Boffo would enjoy this. ;)
