Xertz, pronounced exerts is when you really push yourself, you go the extra mile, you reach that personal summit through monster effort. It�s that extra push to achieve your goal. It is what the English football team will need to do should the match with Germany come to a penalty shootout. But the most likely outcome in that scenario is that their xertz will elude them.

This is one of those words that we oldies have problems keeping up with. XERTZ is something millennials say when their necks start getting all tense and sore after staring at their mobile phones all day, e.g. "Oh, my neck xertz!" |

As Spiney already mentioned, this is an "oldies" word. Us older folk remember the times when "Xerox" was both a proper noun, a common noun, and a verb--- all of them referring to a photocopy from a Xerox copy machine. Well most of us also remember how those machines seemed to have a mind of their own sometimes and we would spend what seemed like hours trying to get a proper copy with the proper alignment. One would then return to their desk with a look of a conquering warrior once they had finally gotten a perfect copy. But you notice your office colleagues giving you suspicious looks, suspecting you had been at the water cooler lolligagging and not waging war in the copy room. The standard reply would be to raise the trophaic copy to the air and proclaim "I have conquered the Xertz" or "The copier xertzed". Xertz (noun, verb) 1) the goblin within a Xerox copy machine and produces unusable copies at the most inopportune time 2) The action of a Xerox copy maching failing to function properly.

Along with fast food has evolved fastspeech. Just as za stands for pizza, so xertz is short for experts. When we have a problem, we call in the xertz. |

"Xertz" is a unit of frequency. 1 cycle per second is a Hertz and 10 cycles a second is a Xertz. Derived from the Latin numeral X, which means 10 in decimal. |

All I can say is that this xertz is a shufti word. |

IF SOMETHING IS VERY, VERY, VERY SECRET, THEN IT IS REFERRED TO AS A XERTZ. QUITE DIFFICULT TO PRONOUNCE AND OF COURSE, COMPLETELY UNDISCLOSABLE. |
