A realm of fantasy or of whimsical or foolish behavior: If I buy a white couch and think that I'm going to keep it clean, I'm living in cloud-cuckoo-land.
I've always heard this expression and thought it was just that: an expression. But it turns out that Mr. Merriam and Mrs. Webster (as I like to call them) fully recognize cloud-cuckoo-land as a word in the English language. It reminds me of that episode of RHONY when Bethenny called Kelly (ugh!) cuckoo-for-coco-puffs. That, by the way, is not in Merriam and Webster's big book of words.
On another note, TGIF!
