shivaree. A noisy wedding reception or celebration usually held late at night at the home of the bride and groom, complete with a mock serenade with pots, pans, and other noisemakers and good-natured pranks on the newlyweds; from the French charivari, meaning the same, though the French word, appro- priately, comes from a Medieval Latin word meaning “headache.” |
