Xxxx \ ʒʒʒʒ \ n: any word that rhymes with the word in question

For example, a xish means or refers to any word that rhymes with fish. Dish is a xish, for example, as are swish and Gish. Telephone is a xelephone. Shoe is a xhoe where through is a xough, but bough is a xough, and cow, of course, is a xow. All xxxxs (e.g. xish, xelephone, etc.) start with ‘X,’ which ‘X’ is pronounced ‘ʒ,’ i.e. a voiced palato-alveolar fricative, e.g. the ‘S’ in Asia or casual. Casual is a xasual, which is fun. Gearbox is a xerox* (NB the lower-cased ‘X’ (Xerox is also a xerox)), and if there were such a thing as a xenophobia aside from xenophobia, it would look the same in print and/or on screen as xenophobia, but would be pronounced differently. Xxxx is spelled with four ‘X’s to avoid confusion with xxx, which has connotations. As far as pronunciation goes, the duration or extension of the ʒ is sort of up to the speaker.

*A near-xerox, actually.

We have a stand-up comic saying something like, “No, I love women. I do.” Typical stand-up rhetoric. With the pauses and the wry demeanor. “But man,” he says. “What’s with all the shoes? Am I right, guys?” A man in the audience leans over and whispers to his friend, also male, beet-red and practically asphyxiating with laughter, “He’s right. My wife has like fifty, sixty pairs of shoes, easy.”

Can you shake a beer can or a coke can or any soda or carbonated beverage in an aluminum can hard enough so that the pressure just builds and builds and eventually just pops? Just bursts the hell open? I’d like to build a machine that aims to find this out. A machine that shakes aluminum cans at an astonishing rate/with astonishing violence and vigor, and just see what happens next.

Two men at a bar. The man on the left is overweight and has an open pack of cigarettes behind him; also a rocks glass with liquid. He stands with his back to the bar, leaning, legs crossed at the ankle, a cigarette balanced insouciantly between two fingers as smoke issues forth from his face like a floodgate. The man on the right is slim and wearing a smart coat plus striped scarf, some hard shoes just visible in the dim shadow of the bar stools. Because of the crop, we can’t see anyone to the left of the larger man, nor anyone to the right of the slim man. Still, by the way this latter is turning his head to the left, his back to the viewer, we can infer that he’s there at the bar with someone else, some companion, who has either paused long enough in conversation for this slim man to turn and look over his shoulder, or else has run to the head real quick or something. The larger man has a speech bubble that says, “This is my diet plan. Tobacco is an appetite suppressant. Or nicotine is.” In profile, we see the thin man’s expression, a bit smug, a bit patronizing. His bubble says, “Mmm. Is it working?” Smoke is sort of creeping along the floor of the bar, like false fog.
