This word might be a bit of a tongue-twister, but that's totally appropriate as far as its meaning is concerned. If you're faced with a scene where chaos reigns supreme, you can describe it as "Tohuwabohu." The term denotes disorder and confusion - or what we might call hullabaloo. Stemming from biblical Hebrew, its original meaning is "formless and empty," in reference to the state of the Earth before God created light and order. So if Genesis is anything to go by, we owe our existence to God's determined clean-up of the first big "Tohuwabohu."
