OrangePanda555 0 Posted July 2, 2012 What is the definition of the word zound? I was reading this webpage: http://www.renegadewiki.com/index.php/The_Ramjet_Rifle At one paragraph the article reads "it gives zounds of points when you fire on vehicles" and maybe you can clarify (as well as define the word) what it means from the context of the sentence. Any help is appreciated. :-) Share this post Link to post
Inferno 22 Posted July 2, 2012 "Zounds of points" means as much as "a hell of a lot of points". Share this post Link to post
Nmenth 289 Posted July 2, 2012 Yeah, it is an old interjection originating as a shortening of "God's wounds" (as in Jesus' crucifixion). I can't rightly remember where, but I've heard this used frequently in the past... Though the way it is used in that sentence is a bit odd. Usually it is used as a stand-alone expression, like Wow! And it is zounds, not zound. Zound isn't a word. Edit: I think where I remember it from was the game King's Quest: Mask of Eternity. Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted July 2, 2012 I've never heard of that word in my entire life. My God, where ever did I see this before. He is simply building a consensus. Share this post Link to post
