Zeitgeist
German for "the spirit of the times"; if I hear one more faux-intellectual pretentious [expletive] use this word,
I'm breaking out the shotgun.
Zephyr
A strange word that means "a western breeze". This word's meaning has become so obscured that I thought
it was necessary to post it here. I have seen it a number of times in advertising and wondered to
myself "Does anyone know what this word means?" so I took the initiative to look it up and now I'm
posting it here for you...

Zounds!

like this aren't used anymore.
Zwieback
zwieback means "rusk" - literally 'baked twice'
Zymurgy
Just look at it! Seven letters and only one vowel! And it's a U! Two y's and a Z! Man, they
just don't make 'em like that any more...
Zyzzyva
My goal, my purpose, my raison d'etre is to one day use this word in a game of scrabble...
