What comes to you when you hear "wizzhub". Generally is it something bad?

Post by webcaptcha »

First of all I would say I'm not native English guy.

For some reason I have to choose decent web name. I think an opinion from native Englishmen it's what I need to consult to. If I'm googling the meaning of "wizz" it's something related to pee. Not good.

But generally what do you think about "wizzhub" word? Is it something bad, neutral, or pretty decent word? Is it easy to write it down without mistake when you heard it?

Thanks.

I somehow have to think of a gathering of computer nerds here.

I would think "an Internet hub for computer wizzes/whizzes", although the singular of the word in that sense is usually spelt "wiz" or "whiz" (to whizz with two Z's is to zoom by), so if I heard it I'd probably spell it "Wizhub" or "Whizhub" instead of "wizzhub".

That's playing better. Wizhub or whizhub is using a lot across web and it's harder to stand out though. Not even to stand out just those names are taken over mostly.

Honestly, I first thought of wizards. Like a bunch of bearded folk in pointy hats doing magic.

I independently, but belatedly, thought what other responders here thought!

It sounds like a male communal urinal to me.
