The zoomies

A common phenomenon where your cat has heightened energy and they have no choice but run around the house to burn off the excitement. Causes for the zoomies include but are not limited to prey, and changes in the environment. It can also start spontaneously for no known reason. In the wild, the cat’s body builds up enormous amounts of adrenaline, so that when they pounce, they can effectively catch their prey, but because most cats are enclosed in a house, they cannot reach the desired destination. So the adrenaline (which is now useless) forces them to run around like a spooked chicken until the energy is spent. This quirk happens in the early stages of a cat’s life, and as they grow older and more mature, the zoomies get rarer and are eventually substituted for more sensible ways of burning off useless energy.

Zani got the zoomies randomly today. I don’t know why, but I assume it’s because she saw a fly.

zookies

any living creatures inhabiting your body - e.g. body lice, crabs, head lice, fleas

My grandmother always used to ask, "you got zookies?" when we were being 'twitchy' as kids.

zonie

An Arizonian who comes to the West Coast beach cities every year and generally irritates all locals. Easily recognized by their rash guards, smashball games, and general disregard for beach etiquette.

Local 1: Dude, how was the beach?
Local 2: the shred was good, but the whole damn beach was infested with Zonies!

That zoomie is really, really, really, ridiculously good looking and is also so damn smart. I wish I was with that zoomie.

Zoomies

Open headers on a V8 that are pointed up, much like those on professional dragracing cars.

Zoomies make a car look and sound badass!

zoomie

when you make farting noises with your mouth on someone's body, creating a tickling effect, causing laughter.

She gave me a zoomie on my stomach.
