Pizazz, to quote the editor of the Harvard Lampoon, is an indefinable dynamic quality, the je ne sais quoi of function; as for instance, adding Scotch puts pizazz into a drink. Certain clothes have it, too. [Harper's Bazaar, March 1937]

在1912年的一篇讽刺性的《芝加哥日报》报纸文章中,使用了一个早期的用法,意义不确定(但似乎是负面的),文章以当时的俚语写成,标题为《别再说粗话了:芝加哥的清洁语言联盟对低俗言辞说不》:
Brother Russel declared, bo, that his crowd had already framed it up with some of the big guys in the music world to put the kibosh on this line of junk, and that it was only a question of time before they would have such pieces as "When I Get You Alone Tonight" completely on the pizzazz.
