megillah

Something long complex, and possibly tedious. Fr. Yiddish/Hebrew, for "scroll." Certain scrolls are read on particular holidays; it takes a long time, hence the secondary meaning.

I asked for instructions, and he explained the whole manual to me, the whole megillah, from beginning to end. It took two hours.
