brouhaha
A stir; a fuss or uproar.
It caused quite a brouhaha when the school suspended one of its top students for refusing to adhere to the dress code.
Where it comes from
Borrowed from French brouhaha, though its earlier origin is disputed. Possibly from Hebrew בָּרוּךְ הַבָּא (barúkh habá, “welcome”, literally “blessed is he who comes”).
