I always thought the Z was some sort of transliteration of a heavy french
accent on 'the'.

Like "soap" but with a "z" as in "zoo".

It doesn't mean anything. It's a silly acronym for "Z Object Publishing
Environment". The real $1m question is: What exactly is Z?

"QED?" said Russell.
"It's Latin," said Morgan. "It means, 'So there you bastard'."
