Dizzy is a silly word for distributor.

Almost as silly as how long honda used these primitive things on their products

I hate the term "dizzy". I almost never type it online and NEVER say it in person. It's just dumb. "Distributor" people, get with it.

No, it's just us that know how to spell the proper name for a distributor and not too lazy to do it.

Dizzy is an adjective...
1: foolish, silly
2a : having a whirling sensation in the head with a tendency to fall b:mentally confused
3a : causing giddiness or mental confusion <dizzy heights> b : caused by or marked by giddiness c : extremely rapid <prices climbing at a dizzy rate>
— diz·zi·ly \ˈdi-zə-lē\ adverb
— diz·zi·ness \-zē-nəs\ noun
See dizzy defined for English-language learners »
See dizzy defined for kids »
Examples of DIZZY
The children were dizzy after spinning in circles.
I'm feeling a bit weak and dizzy. I think I'm having a dizzy spell.
Complex math problems make me dizzy.
looking down from dizzy heights
Prices rose at a dizzy rate.
the dizzy pace of our lives
Origin of DIZZY
Middle English disy, from Old English dysig stupid; akin to Old High German tusig stupid

Related to DIZZY
Synonyms: aswoon, giddy, light-headed, reeling, swimmy, vertiginous, whirling, woozy
Antonyms: clearheaded, unconfused

And not a single reference to a distributor.

It's slang terms like this that make communicating here very confusing at times.

Now tranny on the other hand...
Definition of TRANNY
: transmission 3

Examples of TRANNY
He fixed the car's tranny.

Origin of TRANNY
by shortening & alteration
First Known Use: 1976

So lets not confuse the two. 94

Lol, 2 words sum this up.
"Who gives a flying ****?"

Or should I say

Laugh out loud, Two words will summarize all of this.

Some of us can't count either, "Who gives a flying ****?" looks more like 5 words to me, "Laugh out loud" is 3 words.

Oh yea, I give a **** or I would not have mentioned it. 94
