I’m amazed that they allow Zzz. It’s not really a word.

I mean, compared to some of those other ones it's perfectly cromulent. At least it means something.

It truly embiggens the spirit of the game.

Is "bam" a word? It seems like a word, but it's an onomatopoeia, just like zzz. Neither are very accurate to the sounds they make, and neither are truly words... I'd let someone play bam without thinking about it, so I could be convinced to allow zzz
