Example Sentences
- "No need to look like you're sat on a brush, man, we're only razzin' ya."
- "Consider, for example, the word razz, used by younger speakers with the meaning 'riding around with friends in a car (or a snowmobile), with no particular goal'. This meaning is not generally familiar to older residents of the province, and is largely unknown in North America. A very similar meaning does, however, occur in Britain and Australia, as in the following British online posting: 81. We find about an exciting new craze that is seeing kids clad in leather from Leamington razzing around on motorbikes. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/coventry/features/motor/mini-moto-crazy.shtml)."
