  1. Long ago and far, far away in another galaxy... well, not quite. However, when I was younger parents would often give zweiback toast to teething babies and older people who no longer had many teeth because it was easy to chew. And Zorro, I mean @myr, when will you start using the rest of the dictionary again? All these ZZZs are putting me to sleep.
  2. Zirconium - the poor man's diamond.
  3. Having been around Italians for most of my adult like, zucchini is as important to them as potatoes were to the Irish. It's definitely a staple in their cooking.
  4. Dad jokes in February? Are you trying to end the month with a whimper? 🤡
  5. If you constantly feel zonked, maybe you should go see a doctor.
  6. And is it from the same root word as zebra? if it is, it must mean strange looking animal - either strange looking cow (zebu) or strange looking horse (zebra).

    Spiders

    Hmmm, one spider is dark colored and the other light colored - seems that they've got a serious arachnid problem, but they're doing the right thing. Pull over to the side of the road and let the hitchhiker out.
  8. What else would make his pants bulge out like that, unless he's carrying his toys, I mean his tools, in his pockets.
  9. A category for all the animals in the world, including the human zoo.
  10. Ah, so the fabric sleeps a lot.
  11. Are people who are really into hobbies hobbish? And is that where the word hottit comes from?
  12. Derived from hob, or yokel, and was meant to refer to an uneducated or unsophisticated person from the countryside.
  13. Don't you just hate it when you're dealing with someone whose age is higher than their I.Q.?"
  14. How does that fit in with the old song lyric "zing went the strings of my heart"?
  15. I think that would be perfect attire for the beach!
  16. So, you mean that yammer isn't describing a person who likes yams? 🤡
  17. This is a word we heard a lot during the early to mid 2020s.
  18. @myr It is rare that an author has only a single opusculum in their collection of writing works. I'll second that observation. 🤡
  19. From the Latin and related to opus, meaning work, and that can be any work. You might be more familiar with it in term of musical works.

    Spiders

    That's an interesting way to end a relationship or marriage.
  21. I'm glad you realize that.
  22. I was talking about in person.
  23. Gee, I'm old enough to possibly be one of the few here that has actually heard a calliope.
