The word zhuzh is part of Polari, an argot used in Britain since perhaps the 18th century, primarily among gay theatrical and circus performers. Given the lack of a clear origin, it is impossible to tell if the verb has priority over the noun or vice versa.
Jai Rodriguez was the original Culture Vulture for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Follow him on Instagram @jairodriguez or check out his IMDB page here.
Read Charles Wright's poem " Sitting at Night on the Front Porch." In 2015, Charles Wright gave an interview with the Yale News in which he said that writing is "very difficult now, because I’ve probably written all the things I could possibly have to say at least five times, in five different directions. I don’t want to do it now." He also talks about it in this interview with Image.
Read the poem of Charles Simic's that we discuss in the episode: "My Shoes." You can also read the poem Aaron references: "Fork."
Read W.S. Merwin's poem "Language."
