zhush or joosh

zhush (ĵ as in the French je + “oosh”) is a word whose usage dates as far back as 1968 in Britain. Its spelling, much like its origin, is elusive. It has been defined by the American Dialect Society (who placed it on their 2003 Word of the Year List) as a verb to mean “primp or fluff up”. Today, it appears in the pop lingo of certain queer makeover shows to mean “making something striking or flamboyant”. Either way, OUTwrites’ début collection zhushes up the LGBTI community of Toronto through its chorus of eight distinct voices.

He's the jolliest person you will ever meet, he can brighten up your day with his jokes and laughs, and can easily understand one's emotions. He is also trustworthy and will listen to your problems. He can be happy around his friends but sometimes endure problems when he's alone. He is very great at uplifting one's mood as he has a positive aura. His words are so pure that he won't lie to you, especially when giving friendly advice, and will give you the right answers. He is also reliable.
Joros is the ideal friend anyone could ask for.
