wingding

Loud festive gathering

A wingding is a lively party or celebration, often boisterous and uninhibited.

The word also describes a fit or tantrum, particularly an emotional outburst: She threw a wingding when she found out they'd left without her.

Wingdings is additionally the name of a Microsoft font consisting entirely of symbols and decorative characters rather than letters, commonly used for bullets, arrows, and ornamental flourishes.
