These are the two I originally thought of - but then I got distracted. Chambers's Scots Dictionary is riveting. Really...
"Stramash" - this is interesting. Stramash is a well-known word, not obscure at all. Most frequently used as a noun. An uproar; a tumult; a disturbance, fuss; smash, crash; wreck and ruin. However, it can also be used as a verb. I was unaware of that. To break in pieces, wreck. Hmm...
"Stushie; stushy" - an uproar or commotion. Another very well-known wurd.
I can be doing without any further stramashes or stushies for the foreseeable, thank you very much.
