It's the "waza" part of the screenname.

World Association of Zoos and Aquariums?

Actually one of my nephews (who is Latino -- Mexican-American) goes by the nickname "Chaz" rather than "Chuck" or "Charlie". Just sayin'.

Not quite, lol. But I've always wondered if one were to substitute "Queenie" from "Chaz" if that led somewhere. (Obvious hint - it's a lyric in TWO shows.)

Chazwaza is actually a reference from The Simpsons. It's what an Australian guy says he'd call a bullfrog.

Marge: We have them in America, they're called bullfrogs.
Aussie: What?! That's an odd name. I'd have called them chazwazas.

However the internet (and maybe the simpsons) seems to favor a zz spelling of it.

Ha! Well, I'm glad I know the real reference now. ;-)

Of course, why you'd want to be called a bullfrog I don't know, lol. ;-)

It's funny, though - because all these years I've been thinking "waza" as in "was a (blond)." Maybe I'm TOO much of a musical theatre geek? ;-)

Nothing makes me happier than the assumption that my profile name is a reference to LaChiusa's masterpiece. But alas, the name does not give any clues to my hair color.
