    Doozy, doozies, doozer, doozers: an extraordinary one of its kind

    "It's a doozy! = "It's really fantastic!" or "It's a real beauty!" or "It's really cool!"

    'Doozy" is a slang word similar to "humdinger." These are Americanisms (American slang). These terms aren't used much anymore. They're pretty dated. Sono espressioni da ieri.

    The original meaning was more "extraordinary" because the origin of "doozy" was a luxury car in the 1920s called a Duesenberg. People would see the car coming down the street and say "That's a doozy!" However, today it is used for either extraordinary or bizarre.

    Ciao.
     
    Ciao,
    ho trovato questa parola (in un manuale tecnico) nella frase:
    "it's inevitable that the Number data type has at least one quirk, and this one's doozy: 0.1 plus 0.2 will not equal to 0.3"
    grazie mille

    1. doozy something that is difficult or daunting
    man that history exam was a doozy! i think i failed

    2. doozy Something extraordinary or bizarre. Etymology: perhaps alteration of daisy, and Duesenberg, a luxury car of the late 1920s and 1930s. It's an English expression.
    "That footballer's form is a doozy!",
    "Man, that one was a real doozy!"

    3. Doozy Puts emphasis and significance on a certain thing, can be used in almost an circumstance for anything.
    wow what a goal, that was a doozy

    that was a doozy of a meal Mrs. Smith

    that girl has a doozy of a rack

    I imagine that in your context that it means "bizarre".
     
    Ciao mikima!

    L'aggettivo "doozy" significa "bizzarro" o "straordinario".

    Nel tuo contesto userei "bizzarro".

    Penso che sia uno slang, ma non ne sono sicuro!

    Bye,
