Ixzucdosj

ohwtepph

Created by: ohwtepph

Pronunciation: /iks - zuc - doz - jjjjraaaaaa/

Sentence: "Majimbo! Why didn't I kill you when I had the chance? Ixzucdosj! Now you killed Vegetta, Trunks, Gohan, Piccolo and Krillin and all the other tards that existed! I'll kill you! Super Sayan!" And Goku died a horrible death when his hair stood on one end and lost its color & died a sudden death of prostate cancer.

Etymology: Just one of the random words you get when you type in frustration. Among other words involved in this series is: ijhefib, jsdhfjxcv, and the infamous sodihgvnwoei. Apparently, this word has a resemblance to "exact dosage" and may signify nothing at all.

Today's definition was suggested by ohwtepph. For everyone interested in the parts of speech, this is our first definition which is specifically defined as an interjection. But feel free to create a noun, a verb, or even an adjective, if that's what sparks your fancy. Thank you ohwtepph! ~ James
