I found this word today at the web site of Photo jojo. Right there at the head of their site is this sentence:
We find the best photo shiz anywhere.
SHIZ
I thought it was a very interesting word and looked it up. The dictionary didn't have a definition but the Reference said it had something to do with the Book of Mormon. No, no that's not what I wanted. I wanted it to mean "STUFF." Or maybe "Sh___" I think you could see these meaning fitting very well. Then I went to the Urban Dictionary and found 3 definitions that were more likely as far as I was concerned:
We find the best photo shiz anywhere.

Then I went to the Urban Dictionary and found 3 definitions that were more likely as far as I was concerned:
| 1. | shiz | 325 up, 62 down   |
| another word for sh__. shiz, man i got grounded for a whole year. | ||
| 2. | Shiz | 422 up, 288 down |
| something great or wonderful That movie was the shiz! It was the best movie ive seen in 2 years! | ||
| 3. | shiz | unacceptable definition for printing here |
The second definition is the one I like and want to use along with an additional definition like "Great stuff."
Also in searching around the internet I found this:
Shiz University is a fictional university in Gregory Maguire's revisionist novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. Shiz also appears in Stephen Schwartz's Wicked, the hit Broadway musical based on the book. In the book, the university is located in the city of Shiz in Gillikin, the northern province of the Land of Oz.

lol the Urban Dictionary is the best source of modern day words and their definitions :) I think the word wicked is the shiz..it's a wicked good word ;)
I like this word and Husband who often suggests I stop talking like a truck driver will like it too ...
That's shiz you are writing about! I'm going for the second definition, too. Amazing how contradictory the meanings are... You could get me wrong there ;).
haven't heard shiz or Urban Dictionary before - thanks for both!
i'm gonna try to use this word instead of sh... from now on i really dig it.....
