pardon my zinger

Zing.

To Zing (syn: pwn), is to viciously point out flaws, with relentless, uncaring effort. The term "Burn" was overused, and therefore had died. From its ashes rose several new terms, such as Snap, and Zing. To be Zing is bliss, and neverending once you have it.

"Should you need to think about a comeback, or something to retort, it is no longer a Zing, but a common insult".
