any person trying to occupy the same sp-ce as me at the same time. often applied to other drivers and downhill skiers.

inspired by tv police dispatchers saying, “see the citizen at first and main” when they would rather say, “see the bozo at first and main.” then applied to skiers, then to everyone.

often shortened to bz.
