Could be dude. Although that conflicts with the explanation given by DZ at the Austin show. All I know is I asked the question and that was the answer I was given by the ‘experts’ at the hotline. She didn’t even pause before answering my question as if it was asked all the time.

As an aside, the original reason for my call to 818 was I had just read an article that described young Diva having catered lunch delivered to her at school every day. For some reason I found this unbelievable and slightly infuriating. I mean, what the hell? So after a couple beers I called the number and asked the question. Sure enough, the answer I got was ‘Yes, it’s true.’ The woman sounded offended that I would ask (another ‘I think it was Gail’ clue) so I sort of cheerfully changed the subject to the RDNZL question.

I spoke to someone (I think Gail) about 18 years ago on the 818-PUMPKIN line. During the conversation I asked “what does R-D-N-Z-L stand for?” She said ‘It’s Redunzel which is a nickname Frank uses for Gail.’ (I think he was still around at the time.) I wasn’t aware this was a big debate or I would have shared this nugget long ago.

so with this revelation, we now have a term to distinguish Zappaspeak from Gailspeak (“redunzel”).
