Ok, SPOOGE.
Well, that's using a different word. What's a 6-letter phonetic
spelling for JISM?
JISM = SPOOGE (at least in the school yards where I grew up ;)
But if you want to stick with jism, go with JIZZIM. Maybe even JIZZUM.
Also, I would just like to note this new low point in the history of the
Classic Computers Mailing List.

I guess it would've been worse if you'd gotten to JISM.
Part of the plan called for using all six characters. I would
have had to spelled it differently.
