@ShortyLugNut   I think you mean "zhuzh."

 

It means "to approve in appearance by way of a slight adjustment."

 

Yes, they say it ALL the time.

I kinda like that word-I always hear them say it when they push up their sleeves. Here's an interesting something aobut the word- 

 
 
"Make that “zhuzh.” However it's spelled, the word is used to convey what is often hard to: the act of adding an extra something special, a little oomph, to a dish, hairdo, outfit or any number of things. But where did it come from? Theories abound online. A few have placed their bets on Yiddish.Jan 31, 2022"

Don't know why, but I cringe every time I hear that word - It just sounds like someone is trying to appear to be hip and cool.

 

Just say "Push the sleeves up," for goodness sakes (LOL) Smiley Very Happy

This term has been popular since around 2000, so I'm not sure it's "hip and cool" for anyone to say it; it's pretty common in fashion and design as well as everyday life.

I remember the Samy from Miami hair stylist who was on HSN, hawking his line of hair care. He always used that particular word, even had a product line with it in the title. He spelled it with a "J" but I can't remember the entire spelling of the entire word.
