WHAT DOES ZIXX MEAN? by taryn & mommy

what does zixx mean? the short answer is: "anything you want it to!"

yes, i am proud to announce that my daughter has invented what i believe is the first "wild card word" for the english language. feel free to use it at will; as a verb, a noun, an adjective, a synonym, antonym, prefix, suffix... it can literally become anything you will it to be. a four letter word designed to define the undefinable! explain the unexplainable! morph it's meaning, play with it's pronounciation. have fun! get zixxed out!

can't find a word to rhyme with orange? NOW YOU CAN: zixx!
need to replace the four letter word you want to say but shouldn't... zixx!
need a special code word? a new online password? way to describe the spot you kissed on the back of his or her neck? look no further. bite your tongue. lick the foot that's in your mouth.

zixx to your rescue!

formal entry application:

zixx zix, also prounounced vurg, porange, glot, nidus, nous -whatever you want, imagine or need. in poetry, rhymes with last word of line before or after or near within, but at least rhymes with one word on the same page. as a noun, n, becomes a person, place or thing. as an adjective, adj, describes something or keeps it a secret. as an adverb, adv, includes an ly, or ily, zixxily. as a verb, v, is very active. as a prefix, prefix, it comes before you do; as a suffix, after; as a wild card, sometimes at the same time. as a scrabble word: 26 1/2 points. on greeting cards, post cards, replaces used out words like, thinking, or of, or you. as a salutation, greets. as a salutary, wears a white coat. as a term of endearment, gets you into trouble.

Taryn,

Shakespeare created (sometimes using existing ideas) one out of every ten words in his plays, so your contribution of "zixx" is in very good company. Thanks for growing our language by one more awesome and very flexible word.
