5. A Republican convention.
But seriously:

brou·ha·ha
Pronunciation: brü-hä-hä,
Function: noun
Etymology: French
Date: 1890

A brouhaha is a noisy clamourous response to a stimulus, produced by a crowd. It can also refer to the reaction expressed over a period of time to an event. It usually carries negative connotations, the uproar being an utterance of discontent, however it has taken on a milder nuance and a 'brouhaha' may be used to describe a clamour arising for no good reason. Often used erroneously by sportscasters.

It originates from the French word of the same spelling.
