Listen!
WAZOO, out the: a fullness beyond plenitude, comically immense; as in, "It was farming country, you know, hardworking and Protestant out the wazoo," something I said the other day to explain something about myself. Numbers don't lie, we've all heard that, but they don't communicate experience; for that, we rely on bodily events we've all suffered, something the hearer understands instantly, ruefully, and with the humor of fellow-feeling. Shared experience can communicate mutual understanding, mutual understanding out the wazoo.
