Louda

Louda: interjection. A deformation and cannibalisation of the word 'louder' used so often in the 1960s and 1870s that it became necessary for the word to become part of common speech. In fact it was voted the word of the year in 1965. It was preceded by 'khaki' in 1964 and 'chartreuse' in 1966.
