Impact coverThere’s a new word spreading all over the internet, and that word is “zingwhacker.”  It started out with no references at all, and now there are a couple hundred in the past couple of weeks.

So what might that word mean?

When I was in 7th and 8th grade, my teacher Mr. Dulak always taught us to break down the words we encoutnered, so now I break up zingwhacker.

Zing - Well, something with zing has your attention.  If something has zing it would be “hot” and interesting and have “stick power.”  Things with zing grab your attention.

Whack - Well that makes me think of the V8 commercials where someone whacks their head.  Ken McArthur  uses this term on his website for his new book Impact: How to Get Noticed, Motivate Millions, and Make a Difference in a Noisy World.  So I’ve seen people speculating on what zingwhacker might mean.

What do you think?  What’s your idea of zingwhacker?
