解答

意味：
英辞郎にglizzyは掲載されていないので、下記Wiktionaryの訳は、

1. ＜スラング＞Glock社の拳銃
2. ＜米スラング＞ホットドッグ（食べ物）

他の綴りはglizzyとglizz。

 

Answer

According to Wiktionary:

1. (slang) Glock, handgun.
2. (US, slang) Hot dog (food).

 

語源

Wiktionaryによると、

Glock+izzyより（izzyはヒップホップの造語を作る時に用いられる接尾辞）。ホットドッグの意味は、バンズが拳銃の弾倉に似ていることに由来。両意味は、Washington D.C.都市部で初めて使用された。2020年6月・7月ころからインターネットユーザがこのglizzyを使いたいがためにホットドッグの写真と共に投稿し始めた。

 

Etymology

According to Wiktionary:

From Glock +‎ -izzy (suffix forming hip-hop-sounding words). The "hot dog" sense comes from comparison to the extended magazine of a pistol. Both of these senses were ascribed to the Washington metropolitan area until piquing the curiosity of the world in June–July 2020 when internet users endeavoured to upload pictures containing sausage buns just to say the term.
