zyzzyva - n., any of several South American weevils of the genus Zyzzyva.
Because it is sometimes the last word in English language dictionaries, it is also sometimes used to mean the last word on a subject. Pronounced ZIZ-uh-vuh, origin obscure, possibly onomatopoetic of its flying. Fond of palm trees.
And it's almost, but not quite, impossible to play in Scrabble.
