What does that mean?

dave, do you agree?

I can see that. I think I mentioned that the word might have
connotations not intended, but I understand what he's trying to get
across.


Uh.... Is it a secret?

Is there a way to convey it in semi-objective terms?

Speakers have been called "quick", and that's a pretty well-known
descriptor, but I'm guessing "zippy" is something else.


Zippy is just a euphemism for lively. It doesn't mean they sound like
the late Steve Zipser.
