A sodality is a group formed around a shared purpose or common bond. The word is suggestive of a higher calling that creates a stronger sense of unity than a "club" or "association." There's power in a sodality where members come together for the same cause.
Example: The local farmers formed a sodality to support each other and improve their crops.
A pother is a burst of noisy commotion, often over something small. The word dates back to Shakespearean times. And while pother doesn't appear in Much Ado About Nothing, it's a title that, fittingly, could almost describe a pother itself. Do you think we should work ourselves into a pother over that missed opportunity?
Example: The small bird flying inside the store caused a great pother among the shoppers.
