(1/1)

meg_evonne:
I read a sci fi short story that had a zug and I think a ziggerty?  Anyone remember that?  I've a friend who is using ziggerty in her writing and it kind a grinds against something inside me---like it's stepping on the toes of a sci fi classic.  For the life of me I can't remember the name of the story! Anyone remember it?  Should I even mention it, if that is the case? 

It just seems to me that there are sci fi things you don't step on when it's a classic.  It's really bugging me...  Thanks in advance!

Darwinist:
wtf is a ziggerty... or a zug.... or a Bradbury. Mmmm easter eggs. sorry, Cadbury... mmmm chocolate bunnies.

wait, what were we talking about?

Blaze:
Zug-zug was a euphemism in Ringo Starr's classc movie "Caveman."  Other than that I got nothin'

LizW65:
I Googled both words and it turns out Zug is a place in Switzerland.  Ziggerty is all over the board, so to speak; it's everything from a cookie (Hot Ziggerty Bars) to, apparently, a rock climb in Britain, but I can't figure out what it means, if anything.  Sounds like it might be a nonsense word along the lines of Hot Diggety!  Bradbury didn't come up in connection with either term.
