In connection with the brouhaha (2-2)
I believe the answer is:
to-do
This might be a double definition.
'in connection' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'brouhaha' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'with the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for to-do that I've seen before include "Quarrel" , "Fuss or commotion" , "Spot of bother" , "Bustle" , "Flap" .)
