doozy
Something quite remarkable
A doozy is something remarkable or outstanding of its kind—usually something impressive, difficult, or extreme: That last exam was a doozy.
The word can describe positive or negative extremes: an exceptional performance, a particularly bad hangover, or an unusually difficult problem.
We've had some storms this year, but last night's was a real doozy.
