Sounds great to me, and more rigarmorole would be ¿Cómo fue que sucedió eso? or ¿Cómo ocurrió eso? Is rigamarol just a word from Simpsons or does everyone know it.

I grew up in the Midwest U.S., and rigamarol was a common word there. As in, "I hate going to the airport because I hate going through all that rigamarol of pulling apart my bag, taking off my shoes..." - Echoline, Aug 28, 2010

I had a teacher who would always say this and these have a "t" and that and those don't.

Did you ever, perhaps, ask him what this, seemingly nonesensical utterance, was supposed to mean? - samdie, Aug 29, 2010
