More immemorial
is always a great word to know.
So is lollapalooza. Does it mean:
| an extraordinary or unusual thing, person, or event; an exceptional example or instance. |
| 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
immemorial
c.1600, from Fr. immémorial (16c.) "old beyond memory," from M.L. immemorialis, from in- "not" + memorialis (see memorial). Something immemorial is ancient beyond memory; something immemorable (1550s) is not memorable.
