megillah (meh-GIL-uh) noun
A long, tedious account.
[From Yiddish megile (scroll), from Hebrew megillah, from galal (to
roll).
The term alludes to the length of the text in the Book of Esther which
is read in its entirety, twice, during Purim, a Jewish festival.]
Rally? Esther!?!?!? Now there is a book that reads like a novel. Unlike the who begat whom sections which are better than counting sheep.
