Sound the kaZoos! This is it! The moment has arrived! The day the A to Z Challenge says,
"Z END"
Bravo to all of you A to Z participants, whose brainpower collided to generate a glorious buZZ of energy throughout cyberspace. This month was the cat's meow, so let's make whoopee, maybe even organize a rub where we can dance the Charleston and celebrate our achievement! If you missed out on any of it, don't be a wurp and just sit there like a flat tire left holding the bag (you look like a bug-eyed Betty when you frown) or recline like some high hat dewdropper, acting all upstage and giving A to Z the icy mitt. I'm sure you have your excuses, but tell it to Sweeney and then ankle on over to our blogs anyway so you can know your onions. Vamps, doll up with your munitions, and smoke-eaters, bring a pack to share. Come one, come all--everyone and everything is jake at A to Z!
But you'll have to drink more than noodle juice to achieve today's final installment of 1920s slang. Pick up your panther piss or other giggle water of choice and gulp down that quilt in hearty quantity to go from an edge to positively ossified.
~*~ ZOZZLED ~*~
Meaning: Drunk
And to the story that inspired my A to Z theme this year, cheers, SEVEN FOR A SECRET! I wish you well, my debut book baby, as you prepare to enter the world this summer. I promise I wasn't zozzled when you were conceived...well, not the entire time.

Congratulations on reaching the A to Z finishing line!

Oh my goodness, Michelle, thank you for that advice! I didn't even realize that function was on, derr...
DeleteThank you as well for your glorious A to Z support and well wishes for my total amateur entry into the book world...I am seriously terrified as the time gets closer. Anyway, I'm so happy to have found your blog through this challenge, so you're stuck with me. :)
Congratulations on finishing this challenge. Good feeling, eh?

(I don't need to drink anything right now to feel zozzled.) :-)
I'm with you on that -- alcohol-free intoxication from this A to Z achievement (and maybe a little too much coffee...). Cheers!
DeleteI am so pleased this challenge brought me to your blog and will continue to follow you, Debi!
I'll drink to that!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing the Challenge. Hope you had fun.
Cheers to you, too, Alex! Thanks for joining me for A to Z. :)
DeleteLOL...what was it someone said recently? "Write drunk, edit sober." My response was, "THAT's what I've been doing wrong!" A margarita or two and I might be a better writer...
ReplyDeleteI'll toast to that, Stephanie! Thanks for the new motto to write by; that is brilliant. :)
DeleteOh, Lady, I knew I forgot to buy something at the store. Some beer for a good zozzling rub. Of course, it only takes one for me. Cheers to you and a jake of a job teaching and entertaining us with 1920s slang. You are the bee's knees. :-)

And you're the cat's pajamas, Susie! Cheers!
DeleteWay to finish strong, Monkey-er-Rumer. =] Congratulations on the book -- things are looking good around here. May the 4th be with you!
ReplyDeleteAnd al-tho with you! ;)
DeleteThanks, Milo! I'm so giddy to see you at my new blog--cheers for stopping by!
This post was zozzlicious! Clever you working in all zee terms. Congrats on completing this challenge like a champ. So excited to keep up with your literary adventures.
ReplyDeleteHurray! And look how utterly inattentive I've been to my blog ever since...Thanks for hangin' in there with me, Nicki. :)
DeleteCongrats on completing A to Z! Go on and get zozzled if you wish. Woo-hoo!
ReplyDeleteI am so freaking exhausted from all the posting and commenting and replying I feel like I've just come out of a week-long hangover. And now i have to write a Reflections post?!??! Gah!
Thanks so much for all the Chicago comments, I truly appreciate them. Hope you'll stick around. Best of luck with the upcoming book release!
You are a better man than I...well, I'm not a man at all, but if I were, I still wouldn't have written that Reflections post yet. See how quickly I resort to my lazy ways?? Anyway, I am quite grateful that A to Z brought you to my blog and vice-versa--you've definitely got a new follower, Chris. Cheers! :)
