Answer:

LULU

Hint:

["Think of a whimsical, old-fashioned term for something remarkable."]

Explanation:

The clue "Doozy" leads to the answer "LULU" through informal language and slang. Both "doozy" and "lulu" are terms used to describe something extraordinary, impressive, or outstanding. They are often used interchangeably to express that something is exceptional, often in a humorous or exaggerated way. For example, you might say "That was a doozy of a storm" or "That's a real lulu of a car." Thus, the clue and the answer are synonyms in this context.
