The first syllable can also be extracted and used as a prefix to any other word to confer upon it the zen of zwerdog.
Buying three family-size frozen lasagnas and four whole rotisserie chickens for the week's groceries is a very zwerdog-like thing to do.
The zwer-popotamus would be the most amazing animal on the planet.
