Piggy 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.
Also, piggie.


Origin:
1790–1800; (def. 1) pig1 + -y2; (defs. 2 and 3) pig1 + -y1
