Noun (zee day): A term probably coined by Max Brooks which refers to the war between zombies and mankind. Derived from the word D-Day, which is a British term used to refer to a variable day on which a combat attack or operation is initiated. Z-Day is marked by a sudden attack on mankind by zombies, which will lead to a widespread zombie outbreak. There are a number of zombie survivalist groups worldwide (largely in the US, UK, and Canada), that are already planning what to do when this day comes.
Z-Day will catch mankind completely off guard, and the lack of preparation will lead to countless casualties.

This term was used by the British Expeditonary Force in preparing for the Battle of the Somme in 1916. It culminated previous days of artillery bombardment called U,V,W,X,Y days. The actual time of attack was called Zero-Hour. Compare these with D-Day and H-Hour used by American troops late in that conflict, terms which became more widespread during WWII.
"Z Day" is found in numerous historical accounts from the time. For instance, from Guy Chapman's wartime memoir, "A Passionate Prodigality": "We were waiting for Z day. ... Once more Z day was postponed."
