Tumulto ou Desordem Explanation: In common English usage, though, the name Donnybrook is associated not with St. Broc, but rather with violence. The Oxford English Dictionary defines a donnybrook as "a scene of uproar and disorder; a riotous or uproarious meeting; a heated argument." This meaning of the word arose because of the rough antics associated with Donnybrook Fair, which was held from medieval times up until the nineteenth century uproarious adjectivo barulhento, em desordem; tumultuoso; ruidoso; Dic Porto Edit Reference: http://relliott.tripod.com/dbrkhist.html |
