zazz

[edit]

The entry you created seems to have been a protologism and has been deleted. If you are sure that it is a real word, please provide evidence of this word being used in durably archived media (mainly printed books, and usenet groups) as required by our inclusion criteria. For a term to be included, it must be used by at least three different authors, spaced in time by at least three years, and the authors must not explain the word's meaning. If you can find any such quotations, please add them to the citations page. --EncycloPetey 21:05, 4 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well, it's not. It's all over the place: I've heard it on The Daily Show and The Simpsons, and there are about one hundreds of hits for "Where's the zazz?" and "zazz it up" on the net. What you want me to do would suck all the fun out of it. People actually do that for free for you? For free? I'm reporting to you that this word exists, as you will eventually find out. I was just trying to help you with an enjoyable new word. The message you've posted here makes people think "Geez, what a stiff this clunk is!" and quit your tedious project. Good luck finding someone to research three books written three years apart? Why would I want to do that? People actually do that for you? Hard to believe. Zazz is a word nowadays, you heard it here first, and many others could have heard it from you first, but you won't put it into your project until everyone already knows, defeating the purpose.
