counter-hubbub

noun. Counterterrorism just got fun again.

Real citation: "The Pakistani government, which promised a major counter-hubbub against those responsible, would not rule out a small-scale nuclear donnybrook.

Made-up citation: "If Counter-hubbub Studies had been a major in college, I might have gone into clandestine government work or spandexy private crimefighting. Why didn't I have options? I hate being a doctor."
