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.
