What exactly is a "shindig" and how's it different from a party?!
Answers: Shindig refers to any sort of clever party, or box social, or (archaic) a brawl. Also it can refer to a dance party with lots of music.
same thing ...... shindig, get together, a bash, a party, etc.
I believe it's the same thing, just a slang for party
More like a square dance or barn dance. Think about it if your partner was wearing work boots and got you in the shin...hence shindig.
An organized event. Often used for a party, something a bunch of people will be at, but it doesn't have to be a party. It's a slightly older term.
It's also used for non-party things, so perhaps it means more of a get together. LIke if you have to be at a convention, or an awards ceremony, but don't want to go, you could say, "well, I don't want to, but I have to go to this shindig".
Back in the 60's Bobby Sherman had a tv show called "Shindig" where he had musical guest performing their hit songs.
