Doozy is a U.S. pop culture term from the 1920's and 1930's. Originally a
nickname for automobiles produced by August and Fred Duesenberg (much as
Chevrolet automobiles are called "Chevys", or Cadillacs "Caddies", or, if I am
not misinformed, Mercedes Benz autombiles are known as "Mercs" in the U.K.)
known for powerful engines and distinctive styling.
The term "doozy" became a substantive adjective meaning something amazing and
overwhelming. My mother and father used the term, but I rarely hear it now.

Test For Numeric Values?
And yes, anything on that level would really have to be a doozy.
Do enlighten me - what is a doozy?
