Quoz

“Quoz” (KWAHZ), a word that has fallen into disuse, refers to something strange, absurd, or queer.

Example, as used by William Least Heat-Moon at the beginning of his book Roads to Quoz: An American Mosey): “I’m speaking about a quest for quoz, of which I’ll say more as we go along, but until then, you might want to see Quoz as a realm filled with itself as a cosmos is with all that’s there, not just suns and planets and comets, but dust and gas, darkness and light and all we don’t know, and only a fraction of what we can imagine.”
