When To Use
Shindig is a fun word for a party or gathering, especially a noisy and lively one.Shindig is very informal, and it often refers to informal gatherings, especially big, rowdy ones with dancing, but it can be used to refer to any type of party or big celebration. The word has an old-timey or rustic, country feel to it (though not as rustic as hootenanny or hoedown), so it is often used to be a bit silly or just as a more fun way to say party.Example: Big Earl’s having one of his usual shindigs this weekend, with his buddy’s band playing in the field out back.
