Past tense combination of "zing" and "singe," where the "zing" involves an insult, which singes (slightly burns) the recipient. Can be pronounced to rhyme with the past tense of "zing" or "singe," just to make it more interesting and to be more consistent (in terms of inconsistency) with so many other
words of the English language. Usually, the insult is offered as mild, witty
sarcasm or a fascetious comment where the
gravity of the insult is relatively minor and the point of zinging it is calculated to achieve only a slight burn.
