Some kind of commotion, controversy, or fuss. If you read about a scandal in a newspaper, it could be described as a falafel. Falafel is a humorous-sounding word for a mostly non-humorous situation: some kind of disturbance, scandal or mess. However, a falafel usually isn't 100% serious.
"What a falafel trying to get through the airport!" Said Nicolette to Tiernan
