wa-la

The incorrect usage of the French word voila vwäˈlä, which translates to, "There it is" or "There you are." Voila is synonymous with presto, ta-da, look. Also spelled "walla."

Traditionally used by ignorant, untraveled American youth whose foreign language capacity is relegated to "taco" and "French fries."

When I surprised her with flowers, I said, "Wa-la!"
She was succinctly confused for my usage of a non-existent foreign word.
