This seems to be a Good Word :D for what issues forth from the news reporter in this Youtube clip: https://youtu.be/FhSTwmosFxM?t=10

I was thinking apoplexy but that seems to be more specifically medical. :?

Thanks for resurrecting this word and its accompanying paroxysm of repartee. My chief takeaway, however is the pronunciation emphasizing the first instead of the second syllable, as I have always done. Has anyone else heard it so pronounced or mispronounced?
