       "Doozy" has a bit of a fun origin. It means "splendid or excellent," and although there are a few theories about its original source, its use was "reinforced by Duesenberg, the expensive, classy make of automobile from the 1920s-30s."https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=doozy#etymology

       @grammargirl That’s interesting. My great aunt was named “Doosey” and she was born in 1912.

       @grammargirl Lovers of classic cars will be in heaven. I was there with my sons several years ago. It's amazing how gigantic the Duesenbergs are. They must be 20 feet long. Hollywood stars loved them and had them custom-built. I want to say Clark Gable was one.The Cords and Auburns are cool too.

       @grammargirl Awesome car! If I remember correctly both James Dean and Daddy Warlocks were both very familiar with that vehicle.
