A gazraa is a strange thing. Gazraa evolved as my nickname meerly by chance on a trip to Tenerife more years ago than I really want to remember.
Gaz is obviously a shorter name for Garry, but looking at wikipedia, it could also be:
- GAZ, which is a Russian automobile manufacturer.
- Gaz, who is a character from the animated television series Invader Zim.
- Gaz, who is just a minor character in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, who owns Geno.
- Gaz, which is a Mughal measurement of length, often translated as ‘yard’.
- Gaz is also a tasty famous treat of Isfahan, Iran, a nougat which is mixed with chopped pistachio.
- And finally, Camping Gaz, a brand of compressed fuel gas products for camping and caravanning.
Blimey!
Raa on the other hand is a little more involved. For my nickname it was just what I shouted during a night of drinking a fair few intoxicating drinks when someone shouted out “Gaz”, but does it have any other meanings? Well wikipedia doesn’t bring up much. It’s obvisouly an acronym for a lot of things, the most interesting being the following:
- Right Atrial Appendage
- Royal Australian Artillery
- Random Access Algorithm
- Reservation Aloha Algorithm
So not the most interesting of names, but it is mine and the one I’m increasingly known by. Do a google uk search for ‘gazraa’ shows pretty much what I get up to on the net…. maybe I should choose a new username so I can hide!
So there you. Gazraa. I’ll be testing you later on it.
