Walla Walla is a town in Washington State. Walla Walla onions are real sweet.

Voila means, There in French. If you want to say "there it is", or "Wow, there it is" use Voila.

voi·là ( P ) Pronunciation Key (vwä-lä)

interj.

Used to call attention to or express satisfaction with a thing shown or accomplished: Mix the ingredients, chill, andvoilà!a light, tasty dessert.

The only reason I'm putting this here is because a lot of people misspell this word. I think that is because this is really a French word. And it is pronounced with a "V" sound.

My roommate (here in CA) used to say that Walla Walla was a town that was so good they had to name it twice. ;-)
