Squizzy is a slippery dipsy squid, belly full of 12 years old whisky instead of black ink.

Actually, Squizzy was a notorious Australian gangster in the 1920 �s
and a squiz is Ozzie for taking a quick look at something
But my definition is a very tight hug (squeeze) |

Dar, shame on you!! This word is hardly appropriate for a forum of educators! Before I became an English teacher, this is the kind of thing I would get worked up about (before I became an english teacher I studied law and my master �s is on sexual harassment).
A "squizzy" is a belittling term for a �so-called � friendly squeeze of a woman �s buttocks. Together with suggestive innuendo and crude jokes, the �squizzy � ranks highest among workplace sexual harassments. "Oh, come on, no big deal, it was just a squizzy!" is one of the most common "excuses" offered for base male behaviour. I really believe we shouldn �t strenghten/spread this word lightheartedly in a game on a forum...

Jayho! No fair!! LOL You aren �t supposed to expose the real meaning!  Yes a squizzy is Kiwi or Ozzy slang for taking a quick look at something. For example "Let me take a quick squizzy at the shrimp on the barbie." And MarionG... i would NEVER touch a person �s bottom in an offhanded way! LOL You got me as well... thought you were serious! YIKE! Ok MarionG I �m passing the torch to you, as you fooled me! I actually believed your definition. LOL Take it away! |
