Gold Winger Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Zyzzyx is a monospecific genus of sand wasp, containing a brightly-colored, medium-sized species, Z. chilensis, named after the sound they make while flying. They were first studied in detail by H. Janvier (a.k.a. Claude-Joseph) in 1928, more than 100 years after they were first described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Winger Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 That's not a word, that's an acronym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Tree Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yeah, picky, picky. I thought it was a cool acronym, though. A web search seems to indicate that people pile up arbitrary numbers of z's in using words to onomatopoetically represent snoring/sleeping. There are a bunch of unusual z words here: (the sound of an electric field, a zipper, a sudden hissing movement, an insectlike buzz, or lightning) http://www.oneletterwords.com/consonant/tome.php?letter=z&start=47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
