What Is The Meaning Of 'Glizzy'? The Gen Z Slang Term And Its Memes Explained
The Glizzy is a Great American Institution. A sausage slapped between soft buns and squirted with a collection of sweet and tangy sauces: no food is more scrumptious at a baseball game, barbecue or other American occasion.

In the nation's capital and the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) region more generally, this iconic food is sometimes called a glizzy.
Where Did The Glizzy Meme Come From?
"Glizzy" has been Washington, D.C. slang for a hot dog for many years. There's something so satisfying about just saying: "hey, Moe, can you sice me a glizzy?" (translation: hello, sir, might you pass me a hot dog?) Another word for a hot dog in the DC area is "glick," but that is more frequently used to describe a thicker sausage, like a bratwurst, for example.

Some speculate that "glizzy" may have originally described a gun. Like a hot dog, a gun is long, phallic and characteristically American. People then started describing their favorite long meats with the same word.

The slang term spread beyond the DC area in the summer of 2020, with a Facebook user posting about an older man in his life being a "glizzy gladiator," adding a picture of the fellow eating. The post was then shared to Twitter and other platforms.

What Makes A 'Glizzy Gladiator'?
Following the viral spread of the first glizzy gladiator wolfing down his sausage in the anonymity of a car, keen-eyed memers identified higher-profile glizzy gladiators.

It seems like what makes a glizzy gladiator is a passionate devotion to the Glizzy. The Gladiator must bend his head and open his mouth wide to accept the glizzy between his lips. Almost always, the Glizzy Gladiator is male. The goal is to get the Glizzy into the throat. Posters online appreciate seeing President Joe Biden and other politicians showing their hunger for a glizzy.

Why Do People Online Post About Glizzy Gladiators?
When a person eats a glizzy, it sort of looks like they are performing oral sex.
