I would say that Mr. Francis was right about WUZZY at the time, but the word has since lost its distinction with the coinage of BUZZWORTHY (which M-W and OED both date to 1980).

In its place I would nominate QAJAQ, a variant of KAYAK listed in the Canadian Oxford Dictionary. Even better would be WUVZ, a playful spelling of LOVES that has been entered into the English Wiktionary, though it is hard to find uses of this word outside of the realm of the lolcat.
