turn-up
Unexpected discovery, perhaps
Turn-up has two main senses.
In British English, a turn-up is the folded cuff at the bottom of trouser legs: trousers with turn-ups.
More broadly, a turn-up is an unexpected occurrence, especially a surprising result: What a turn-up! Nobody expected them to win.
The phrase a turn-up for the books emphasizes how unexpected something is.
