  • None of the examples given for "rez" a ctually contain the word as such; all but one refer to the city called Juarez that sits across the Mexican border from El Paso, TX, and the remaining one refers to a fellow whose surname is Ramirez. I believe all of these examples should be deleted accordingly. Two of the tweets do cite the term rez in its sense of being short for (American Indian) reservation, namely those by Christopher Ezee @scaffoldguys (who cites a hashtag #rezlife) and Joe Ray Doney @ Guck69. And BTW is there an attestation for a plural of "rez?" My guess would be rezzes (by analogy with fez, fezzes).
