An event,
meeting, happenstance, occasion or other occurrence that warrants a vague reference or subtle
deception when somebody asks about it. Often used during phone conversations when
one person is in a place they shouldn't be.
"Where were you last
night? I called you like, I
don't know, 15 times!"
"Well, I had this whole schmagoola over at Lenny's place, and I couldn't tear myself away from it, babe, y'know?"
or
"Yeh, ma, it's fine... No, just another one of their schmagoolas, nothing in particular, some wine and
cheese, the usual pack of twead-coated sycophants" (He's actually at a strip club doing lines in the bathroom)
