Commotion, disturbance, disorder (in other words a good punch-up) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "good punch-up" part above is not the correct meaning, hurly burly does not imply violence, it describes a Noisy confusion; tumult or bustle - for instance: Mrs Jones was loath to leave the peace and tranquility of her garden to face the hurly burly of the city streets.
