Were they on their way to a big shindig or coming from one?

In 1965 he started working on the television program Shindig!

Listen, do you mind if I have a little shindig here tonight?

Party season is upon us and some corporate shindigs are going better than others.

It's quite the shindig, with a live band and everything.

"I get to hang around a while and see what this shindig is all about."

Whatever happened, he was going to try not to get kicked out of this shindig too quickly.

"It's not a bad little shindig here, but there are better places."

"Now we find out if this shindig was worth the price of admission."

He can then happily lay his plans for next year's shindig.

To that end, she'd followed me to a vampire shindig.

But I won't take up your time; they seem to be about to get this shindig started.

Particularly at parties, since the dead were always happy for an invitation to a big shindig.

Right after the first shindig decided I'd bought myself a ticket on the wrong train.

Then I'm going to get a headache or something and leave this boring little shindig.

In the mid-60's the group was also a regular act on the weekly television show "Shindig!"

It gets lost in the beat and you end up having a shindig on Sunday morning."

Her first acting roles were in 1964, with appearances on Shindig!

"Why does he want you at this particular shindig?"

And when did the whole shindig turn into a red carpet occasion anyway?

She wrote and rewrote the story of Shindig over twenty years.

Next week, he said, he will even be ready to "start going out to a couple of political shindigs."

I've already had a look at the overnight logs, and there are no reports of any major shindigs.

One of the busboys here is going to tell me exactly who shows up for this shindig.

You'll have heard that we had rather a shindy here the other night.

"Not much like the last shindy the two of us were in, is it now?"

There was the making of a sanguinary shindy in the thing.

"When I got them refueled at the port, now there was a shindy for you."

He had seen men looking a sight worse than this in a dockside shindy.

"Indeed and the shindy was not a bad way to be starting the evening, if a bit tame.

"Then why the devil kick up such an infernal shindy about it?"

"You'll not get away with another shindy without me," he said to Scaurus.

"If himself wants to make a shindy of it, I'll oblige him, indeed and I will."

"You'd not be leaving me out of the shindy for misliking fighting in line, now would you?"

Another good shindy wasted because I was off friking in the bushes!

What a shindy they are kicking up!

Plenty of gulls still kicking up a shindy.

"A rare lovely day it is for a shindy, isn't it now?"

I chuckled and said, "I'll bet he's the chap who is kicking up such a shindy in the bar."

I can do with a drink arter all that shindy.'

I was in a deuce of a stew about that for hours, as it seemed, until the shindy of the arrival began.

What a preposterous shindy that was!

We didna hear o' the shindy till too late,' and have no one to make him out a liar."

But Billy came; and it was like a Catholic priest striking peace in an Irish shindy.

"You know there was a bit of a shindy up at the university yesterday morning-maybe you was there?"

"You make a shindy!

"Ah, true," replied Peterkin, "and a precious shindy you kicked up in consequence.

"But-" "Your total tab for this little shindy so far comes to over twelve thousand dollars," Wayne said.
