| a printed punctuation mark (‽), available only in some typefaces, designed to combine the question mark (?) and the exclamation point (!), indicating a mixture of query and interjection, as after a rhetorical question. |
Etymonline
Word Origin & History
Tijuana
from the name of a Diegueño (Yuman) village, written Tiajuan in 1829; deformed by folk-etymology association with Sp. Tia Juana "Aunt Jane."
