Thread Name: BS: Words you thought you had made up
Subject: RE: BS: Words you thought you had made up
In 1996 (when I kept a journal) I thought I'd made up the word zotzed, meaning to me exhausted to the point of unconsciousness. As in I am so zotzed I don't remember any of the drive home from work.
I just discovered an entry in Oxford reference
zotzed adj. (also zoosed) [fig. use of zotz v.] (US)
drunk, intoxicated by drugs.
1992 Eble Campus Sl. Apr. 10: zoosed – very drunk. 1992 R. Price Clockers 124: 'She's totally fucking zotzed' […] The woman rolled on her side and fell asleep.
Well that's just blastid pants (germ underwear).
