Pronunciation[edit]

Etymology 1[edit]

There are several theories as to the etymology of “jizz”:

  • From the military term GIS (“general impression and shape”).
  • Possible contraction of just is (in the sense that a particular bird species “just is” that species).

Noun[edit]

jizz (uncountable)

  1. (ornithology) The unique characteristics of a bird species that enable it to be immediately identified by an experienced birdwatcher who has seen that bird before and is familiar with its appearance and behaviour.

      Political cartoonists rely a lot on jizz. When a new president or prime minister comes into office it usually takes the cartoonists a little while to decide which features to select as field marks but they then stylise these in ways that make them instantly recognisable to the rest of us, even though they may be grossly exaggerated.
