Why this word is great
PIZZAZZ — [Noun] Flair, vitality, or zest; an energetic, showy appeal. Of uncertain origin; likely from early 20th-century American college or showbusiness slang, popularized in the 1930s. Unlike panache, which implies a dashing, confident elegance, or verve, which emphasizes enthusiastic artistic vigor, pizzazz is a brash, democratic magnetism. It is the percussive crackle of a snare drum in a jingle, the synchronized kick of a chorus line's finale, the impossible, eye-searing magenta of a polyester suit—a testament to our enduring, cheerful faith in the spectacle's own argument for existing.
noun
