Aside; It's funny: I never though anyone actually used the word "za" seriously (for "pizza") until I saw it used in an episode of "The Office." When we saw that, my wife and I burst out laughing. Now we use it all the time ironically. In any event, I love the two letter words. For me, they give the game strategic depth.


I would imagine one of the writers of The Office is a Scrabble player - this timing is a bit too coincidental.

'za' was added in OSPD4, which was published in June 2005: http://www.merriam-webster.com/info/pr/2005-scrabble-diction...

Michael suggests ordering some za in Season 2 Episode 13 (The Secret) which aired in January 2006.
