Hello all,

It occurred to me that jizz might be a corruption of 'gist' (meaning -
the substance or main part of a thing) and when looking it up in the
Oxford English Dictionary ( the definitive dictionary) I found that gist
also means "said of birds and their halting places" and that meaning is
dated from 1545 AD.

Regards

Reid
