Zot

I reached for the handle and it zotted me — an electric shock to the elbow.

I've heard rumors about the oracle zotting people and I have these questions about zot?

When a taxi driver, convenience store clerk, pizza deliverer, etc., gets zotted, it is on the back page of the local newspaper and not in out of town newspapers at all.

electric fence - zotting me was fine (well really!) but they were worried about zotting the several dozen human puppies that hang around at our house.

Regretfully there is nothing that can be done about things .. just a time bomb ticking, ticking, ticking .. until one day soon, the zots will decide to take a property here, and a property there (they have after all started with vacant land and been successful), so why not progress to property?

(SA) ¶ The government has TACITLY condoned the actions of the zots by allowing them to continue their illegal occupation. (Zimbabwe) ¶ The government condoned the illegal activities and progressed to the point where they were actively supporting it.

The zots will destroy the barns, the homesteads, the tractors, everything - reducing them to their component parts without the aid of explosives.
