[ExI] down safe

[William Flynn Wallace]

I have just run across a word few to me:  sockdolager, meaning 1.
a decisive
<https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/decisive> blow or
remark <https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/remark>
2.
an outstanding
<https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/outstand> person
or thing
In either Sweet Thursday or Cannery Row a party was described with a word I
cannot recall but I think it rhymes with the word above.  Can you remember
it?
