Izzat
(IZ ut)

is not a nut,
but lives in your gut,
in your soul's hut -
to insults it says, "What?!
I'm no stray mutt,
nor ghost of King Tut.
I'm me, like you but
with more honor, izzat."

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.

    I went looking "Izzat" on my own and found my izzat restored and my wallet secure ;)

  4. Very funny word--though taken very seriously, one thing for sure you can't fall down and break your izzat, but if someone else breaks it...izzat a sword I see? Really enjoy your wacky words, Rachel :-) Thank you!

    1. LOL. I'm not sure I got the meaning across as well this time... either that or everyone just loves the sound of the word too much so they are expanding its uses. :)

  5. What an interesting word and a fun one to say, not to mention a good Z word to know for Scrabble (as long as you have a blank tile as well) :)

Rhyming or not, I would like a lot to hear the thoughts my words brought...
