Zob (1909-1920)

[Douglas G. Wilson]

>What can be found on "zig," ....

It's hard to search for "zig" because thousands of examples appear, about
99.9% being related to "zig-zag".

Here are a couple with "zigs" though.

----------

_Syracuse Herald_ (Syracuse NY), 10 June 1912: p. 8:

<<The "Rest Cure" is a Kind of Licensed Loafing indulged in by Zigs who've
Never Done Anything!>>

----------

_Syracuse Herald_ (Syracuse NY), 7 Sep. 1912: p. 8:

<<Some Zigs become so Discouraged when they Get Into a Little Hole that
they Imagine they Might as Well Dig Right Through to China!>>

----------

By some strange coincidence, both of these are by columnist Clarence L.
Cullen ... who was also the author of "Panhandle Pete Talks", the 1915
piece which I quoted for "zob".
