Definition of ZING

Got into an odd discussion of the word ZING and it's usage.

Internet has it as:

  1. Energy, enthusiasm, or liveliness (n)
  2. Move swiftly (v)
  3. Statement used to acknowledge a zinger - an unkind joke or tease.
  4. Irony punctuation mark, ⸮
  5. A special feeling and status described in the Hotel Transylvania universe
  6. The new term for owned, said after saying something witty to someone in an insulting manner.

Here's a new one - 
  • zing (v) - cleverly insulting a friend in a fun and humorous way. 
  • zing (interjection) - the sound someone makes after someone has been cleverly insulted in a fun and humorous way
