Zumbido Vs Msn Wizz?

3.9BRAINROT SCORE

ZUMBIDO— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

zumbido Spanish name for the MSN Messenger nudge: a button that shook the contact's chat window and played a sound to get their attention.

Origin:Press retrospectives (Xataka, Genbeta) report that MSN Messenger gained the zumbido in 2005 along with winks and custom emoticons. Because a persistent sender could make the recipient's window shake relentlessly, Microsoft limited how often zumbidos could be sent. It is the Spanish-language name for the same feature covered by the existing "msn-wizz" (French "wizz") and "wizz-msn" entries; this entry records the Spanish usage, e.g. "mandar un zumbido".
