Our own Price Grabfest pokes a bit of fun at this fact, but I just heard about the latest "Fest" on the radio: Opelfest. That's right, Opel dealers are having some sort of fest! ::)

Fest
According to my trusty Thesaurus, a "-fest "(suffix) is
1. A gathering or festival of a particular type, eg.
Love-fest
Talk-fest
Or 2. Something with plenty of something eg.
A movie filled with horrific gory detail:
"Night of The Living Dead" is a real gore-fest

So are Opel having a gathering or festival of something with plenty of something??? Now that sounds like a real bore-fest!
