[Whizz
Jamar Lizarraga
Thus soldiers heard the typical "whizz" noise of a travelling shell before the "bang" issued by the gun itself. Whizz bangs consequently much feared since the net result was that defending infantrymen were given virtually no warning of incoming high-velocity artillery fire as they were from enemy howitzers.
This WW1 German cannon was captured by the U.S. 104th regiment of the 26th division on October 10, 1918 NW of Verdun. It was donated by the U.S. Army to the city of Warrick Rhode Island where it languished in front of the town hall for almost 80 years. I obtained this gun a few years back and restored it. (see before and after shots) It sits today on my front lawn.
I was under the impression that the whizzbang was the very short period the fieldgun shell was audible as it arrived along a flat trajectory, followed by its explosion (bang) - hence virtually no time to take evasive action. It seems unlikely that you could relate the shell you heard whizzing towards you with the sound of the firing gun, usually one of several, up to 5 miles away.
"make or move with a humming, hissing sound," 1540s, of imitative origin. Meaning "to urinate" is from 1929. Related: Whizzed; whizzing. The noun is recorded from 1610s. Whizzer "something extraordinary" is from 1888.
"clever person," 1914, probably a special use of whiz "something remarkable" (1908), an extended sense of whizz; or perhaps a shortened and altered form of wizard. Noun phrase whiz kid is from 1930s, a take-off on a radio show's quiz kid.
also whiz-bang, whizz-bang, 1915, originally a soldier's name for a type of German artillery shell in World War I, so called by the Allied troops in reference to its characteristic sound. From whizz + bang (v.).
Homemade Choc Whizz! Or for anyone not in New Zealand, homemade Magic Shell or Ice Magic. The incredible chocolate sauce that goes hard when you put it on ice-cream. Also known as the stuff childhood dreams are made of. Well, mine anyway!
There is something about that sauce that just makes me so happy. I think it's because I'm in my 20's and a bowl of ice cream covered in a crackly chocolate shell takes me right back to my childhood. And even better, Josh loves it too. For someone without much of a sweet tooth, that man eats ice-cream covered in choc whizz. I was a little unsure about how he would feel about this replica but in his words..."just as good, if not better than the real thing." That's a win as far as I'm concerned.
Coconut oil! Coconut oil is solid at room temperature. When you warm it, it turns into a liquid - you may have noticed that this can even happen in the middle of summer - the coconut oil in the pantry definitely starts to go soft, if not liquid. To make the sauce, you melt coconut oil with chocolate. Once the sauce comes into contact with the cold ice-cream, the coconut oil reverts back to it's solid state, creating the hard shell...it's magic!
Break up your chocolate. I've made it with dark chocolate, milk chocolate and chocolate chips. All are great so choose whichever chocolate you like to eat the most, or whatever you have handy. Easter eggs could also work if you're working through a glut of those!
Add your coconut oil to the bowl. And put in the microwave for 30 seconds. Take it out and give it a stir, then put it in for another 30 seconds. At this point, mine was almost melted, so I just gave it a stir and let the oil melt the rest of the chocolate. If it's still got a way to go, put it back in for a little longer. Now for the fun part. Scoop out your favourite ice-cream. I can't go past this vanilla ice-cream, especially with this sauce. And sprinkles. Always sprinkles. Pour the sauce on, leave it 30 seconds or so and there you have it.
