Question of the week 37: Snazzy

Hi and welcome to this week’s question of the week! This week the word snazzy will be covered in the following question:

What makes a person, a name, or an object snazzy?

The word snazzy stands for something or someone that looks or sounds attractive, fancy, and fashionable. It can be used to describe a snazzy person who is wearing designer clothes such as Yves Saint Laurent, a snazzy car such as the Land Rover Evoque, a snazzy name such as Red Bull, a snazzy restaurant that serves fancy and unique food such as in a 5 star hotel, or snazzy technology such as the upcoming iPhone 5.

The term snazzy is however relative to what others think. For instance, when a group of 25 people find that the Lamborghini Aventador is snazzy, it would then be deemed that the car is attractive, fancy, and even fashionable. However, when that group joins a group of 75 people who are not attracted at all to the car, then relatively speaking the car would not be termed snazzy. This is where calling something snazzy is seen with a shade of gray and is not clearly defined.

Regardless, anything can become snazzy if you can show and let others understand what you find attractive. This may then catch on and lead to others thinking in the same way. Here are a couple of ideas for doing exactly that:

1. Look at current trends. See what is fashionable today in magazines, movies and songs. Usually these forms of media create a lot of popularity and set trends.

2. Show confidence and a positive vibe. Nothing hurts more than boasting about something being snazzy without showing any enthusiasm or confidence in your claims.

In short: The word snazzy stands for something or someone that looks or sounds attractive, fancy, and fashionable. Despite the fact that labeling something as snazzy is based on what the people around you also think, there are a number of ways to help create this hype. These include looking at current trends that are shown on TV and magazines, and being confident, positive, and enthusiastic about what you find snazzy.
