Thankful #28: Zzz


I’m thankful for Zzz, because it’s the sound word for snoring. Technically, it’s an onomatopoeia but I don’t even know how to say that and assume it would make you sound like an Italian chef. Even more awesome, zzz, while meaning one thing, implies another thing, which is related to its meaning. Confused? That’s why they call it an onoencyclopedia. But who doesn’t like zzz? Okay, people who can’t catch them. But I guess their sound word is /zzz. Or is that a soundtax word? Regardless, zzz can change the meaning of so many things. Saying nigga pleazzze means you’re a rapper with narcolepsy. Yet a zzzebra is simply a sleeping zebra. Sadly, internet searching zzz only yields a bunch of pages for zzzQuil, a cleverly marketed sleep-aid that probably causes schizophrenia. But that’s the beauty of it; whenever you see zzz you think of sleep, a sound word I’m thankful for.  

Bowser has stolen all of Mario's Zzz's 
and it's up to Luigi to finally have a use!
