kerfuffle

1 Representative Ridgeway was caught off guard by the kerfuffle. ”I was just trying to support a young child who is interested in science.

2 He downplays any concerns over the recent management kerfuffle.

3 But what's interesting about the kerfuffle is the variety of reactions, which surely shouldn't have come as any surprise to Cibrian.

4 Random House did not respond to comment about the kerfuffle.

5 There was a minor kerfuffle when the Obamas came to Washington in 2009: The family hoped to move into Blair House by Jan. 5, when their daughters started school at Sidwell Friends.

6 That kerfuffle died down as he took over the opera house, but the “Meistersinger” project never seemed to gain its footing.

7 But the kerfuffle over ratings offers two lessons about the evolving RMBS market.

但是，混乱的评级还是给我们提供了有关正在复兴的RMBS市场得两个教训。

8 Thanks in part to this kerfuffle, the Palapa is selling briskly in Mexico, and may soon be retailed abroad.

14 Somebody just told me something about that, some kerfuffle.

15 It follows O'Brien in the wake of his "Tonight Show" job kerfuffle, where Jay Leno was perceived as having wrested the coveted program away from the then-"Late Night" host.

16 That was similar to this lip syncing kerfuffle.

17 The bigger kerfuffle, though, has been around the more than 4,000 pages of undisclosed intelligence about Eichmann.

18 But the rhythm of the night was disconcertingly the same, and the sheer improbability of the happenstance scarily alike. Nothing like this has remotely happened before. This wasn’t just a minor kerfuffle.

19 I hope someone has optioned that kerfuffle — which is too baroque and weird to summarize — for a movie.

20 The kerfuffle over "The Hobbit's" tactless casting call -- with its obvious and utterly unnecessary skin tone limiting of would-be applicants -- serves an uncomfortable reminder of the not-so diverse realm of the Tolkienverse.
