Question

What does "zyxuzpf" mean? I found it in Dr. Suess book.

Mister Micawber · Accepted Answer

Nothing. Dr. Seuss is famous for coining words.

I've seen several posts on the net about the zyxuzpf bird, but everyone refers to these books as the author being Dr. Seuss. I am holding "The Cat in the Hat Beginner Book in Spanish" as I type and it is by P.D. Eastman, Dr. Seuss's protege. Dr. Seuss's real name is Theodor Geisel. I don't know if there is a dictionary that Dr. Seuss created or not, but I've seen several responses that the zyxuzpf bird is a now extinct bird. I feel sure that this is not true as the entire first page of Google search results for "zyxuzpf" and "zyxuzpf bird" are all references to Eastman's text.

It is the last entry in Eastman's The Cat in the Hat Beginner Book DICTIONARY from 1964.
