Rick Romea inquired about the history of the term "jizz."

This has been the subject of numerous extended conversations, arguments,
research, and fights on the net and other services, and has had considerable
research by people who seem to have done a good job with good sources.

I don't remember the details, but in the most intense studies the connection to
a supposed Willy Willy 2 term of "GIS," for "General Impression and Shape,"
faded very convincingly. I seem to recall that people who were there - doing
aircraft ID training stuff for both the US and Great Britian - asserted that
there was no such term, in spite of the well worn legend.

At any rate, I have been impressed with the length and intensity of the
examinations of this term, "jizz," and have been even more impressed with the
futility of it all.
