A deeply soggy looking man. An intractible wetness happening here. Damp beyond drying. Slicker than an oil spill. Sopping; a human storm drain.

      "They didn't like the name so they made them use a woke new name. I think that's bad. It's bad. Lotsa people don't know this but canola oil is woke! It's true - it's true. The name is from Canada plus Latin oil word. Old strong and powerful name was r*pe seed oil."

      Etymology: 1970s from Canada + -ola (based on Latin oleum "oil").

              Do you agree it's like the "s" in vision?

              Digraph "rz"

              Like the "s" in vision, or fairly similar Zhivago. Sounds exactly the same as ż. Even Poles find it impossible to pronounce after "k", "ch", "p", or "t". Pronouncing it as "sh" is fine in those cases. the only difference being that "ż" evolved from a /*g/ while "rz" is descended from a palatalized ar /*rʲ/.
