hullabaloo

a clamorous noise or disturbance; uproar; tumult

originated in 1762 as a rhyming duplification of hollo
a shout to attract attention
(this all smacks of someone i know)

hollo was later americanized as hello
its use as a greeting coincides with the advent of the telephone


















in fact in the late 1800's
telephone exchange operators were know as hello-girls
