</div>

**vozzle** :

During the late 60s and early 70s, some car engineers got some _really_\* bad grass and started designing gasoline nozzles for their automobiles in a sort of peace-sign, the vozzle:

```auto

\ \ / /
 \ \/ /
  \ /
   \ /
    \/

```

It required a new shape of nozzle (and, after further testing a new type of gas pump)

Needless to say, it was not wildly popular and has become a sort of insult in the car-design industry for someone who makes something that is both utterly useless and independent of current technology, as in:

“Ugh, Carter is **such** a vozzle; did you see those paper windshield wipers he’s designing?”
