Solve : What does "zilla" mean??

Answer»

I was reading the chat forum topics today for a good laugh, and I saw the name ChatZilla referring to an IRC application. I use FileZilla every day on my job. And there's MOZILLA. What does Zilla mean? I looked up wikipedia's definition for it and another free online dictionary's definition, and I still don't get it.

Oh wow. Learn something new every day. I decided to look up Mozilla while composing this topic, and I saw it was founded by Netscape.

I've been waiting for an end user of the system to ask me what is FileZilla, and I would respond "that is software which was developed by the son of Godzilla".Quote

Nominee for quote of the month.
I don't think you'll find an actual definition of "Zilla" but it's basically a reference to the movie monster Godzilla and in common use means "monstrous" or something to that effect. FileZilla would basically mean a monstrous FTP server while ChatZilla would be a monstrous IRC client.

Back in the 70's there was an audio manufacturer NAMED GAS (Great American Sound). They produced 3 amplifiers "Ampzilla", "Son of Ampzilla" and "Grandson of Ampzilla". I personally owned the "Son of Ampzilla" and can vouch for the FACT that it was a monstrous amp.Well, if you really need to know, it goes from Japanese.

Did you know how Gojira (Godzilla in Japanese) was named? According to Eiji Tsuburaya, the creator of Godzilla: "At the time, there was a tough- LOOKING guy working on the Toho lot. His nickname was `Gojira'. We just adopted it for our monster. It caught on and certainly has immortalized him!"
The FORM 'zilla' is a womanizing Japanese words that end in 'jira'
Son of Ampzilla?! I can hear Ampzilla asking his son, "What you up to, son?" And he says, "15 amps."Sorry Strollin. I forgot to send thanks to you earlier.The form 'zilla' is a womanizing Japanese words that end in 'jira'
