Say What - A to Z slang/colloquialism game.

[Eight-Toe Joe]

Zzzz's
           " Eight-Toe Joe is apparently never going to be able to catch any elusive Zzzz's while attempting to quit smoking."  said Big Jake as he spit out an evil chuckle.
               " Hey Jake......You're truly a dick."  "I'm so tired, I forget the letter "Y"."   Muttered Joe as he carved a bunch of small zzz's into the flesh of his forearm with his dull knife.
