An adorable and funny person. Usually very short. She has a bad sense of direction but becomes very easily attached. A Zanie laughs all the time and is always doing crazy things. She is one of the best friends you can have, is not typically very book-smart, but will always aim to please. A tiny, elf-like character. Zanie sings and dances-all the time. If you meet a Zanie, don't be scared!
Person: What are you, 11?
Zanie: On a scale of 1-10! Zayuummm!!! *laughs and cartwheels away*

In hebrew, it means "Gift from God"

In some African languages it can mean "Ancient One or Ancient King"

However Zani is a beautiful individual who brightens even darkest days and sometimes with a dark sense of humor. He/She may be someone who has to endure a lot but he/she is so greatly blessed with intelligence, kindness, strength, will and courage that watching the epic poem that is his/her journey inspires the mind and blossoms the soul. Zani is one who won't give up on himself/herself and he/she most certainly wont give up on you. The left eye to her right, this Lotus Blossom will flourish in all forms. Like so few can be, he/she will be.
Zani is the true African lotus blossom.

God delivered Zani and said it was His gift unto them.
It's such a blessing to have someone like Zani!

A lifestyle, an attitude, a mindset, a movement. The moment in which you don't understand zany is the moment in which you truly understand zany.
"Thats so zany dude!"
"I love her, she's so zany"

"The Zanes" or "Zanies", a term that originated around the Seattle area. "Zanies" are vapid, superficial young people that are often close-minded and stereotypical, caring about little beyond status and their appearance. Very rich people who care only about money and material things are also called "Zanies". Many Zanes are not malicious, but are always very ignorant.

The saying "Nuke the Zanes!" is a reference to the Zanies, usually used by people who don't approve of the Zany lifestyle.
I grew up in Bellevue, there's nothing but Zanies over there, unlike Seattle.

A once cool word that was killed because it was over-commercialized, much like extreme except for the fact that the word extreme is totally shitty.
I sometimes let zany slip from time to time, i say it in a surfer dude voice like "Wow! What a zany guy" but mostly I use it sarcastically, by that I mean I say that Richard Nixon is zany. Nixon actually was a thieving, Cheneyesque, monster. Maybe some day zany will make a big comeback, most likely from the streets of Jamaica Queens.
"Wow! what a zany guy!"
