(you know...I also forgot the all-important Gazooga! (you know, the sound a man's eyes make as they pop out of their head when a curvaceous woman walks by) and Gazooks! (which may or may not have a D in it and is an expression of utter amazement I might use were I to discover that the erstwhile werewolf/ghost/vampire/zombie I was investigating was actually a bitter postal carrier/butler/journalist/high school principal trying to throw me off the case). I don't believe any of the words you listed are real words, specifically "Gaza" and "Gazateer," which is clearly a corruption of the word "Rocketeer" and honestly, if I were Billy Campbell, I'd be real irked right now.

Just think of the Jetsons...cars need hover-craft technology (and maybe some sort of magnetic padding to link them to buildings should they want to drive on their sides). That's all. No spiders. Just space-age technology. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and I have a list of other "gaz" words for you...<BR/><BR/>1. Gaza (as in Isreal)<BR/>2. Gazateer (think Newsies)<BR/>3. Gazar (a kind of silky fabric...and NO I didn't look that one up on dictionary.com. I mean really, who DOESN'T own something made of Gazar???)<BR/>4. Gazump (British slang for cheating a housebuyer by raising the price. And ditto about dictionary.com)<BR/>5. Gazogene (An apparatus for impregnating a liquid with a gas, esp. carbon dioxide. DUH!)<BR/><BR/>...I have to get back to work. :-)CaraMiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615067127676803926noreply@blogger.com
