Brouhaha

Answer:

TODO

Hint:

Think of a Spanish word for "all" that sounds like a task list starter.

Explanation:

"Brouhaha" sounds like "to-do," playing on how both words describe a noisy commotion or fuss. The clue hints at the answer by mimicking the pronunciation—"brouhaha" and "to-do" are often used interchangeably in conversation. It’s a straightforward homophone trick where the spelling changes but the meaning stays close.
