zoos
ZOOZ/zuːz/
- 1Plural of zoo.
Several zoos are working together to breed the rare tortoises and return them to the wild.
On the day before Thanksgiving, airports and grocery stores turn into absolute zoos.
Note
Beyond animal parks, the plural does informal, figurative work. Crowded, chaotic places become zoos, and the word sits naturally after turn into or become: airports the day before a holiday, malls in December. Large, varied collections of anything can be zoos as well. Both uses are casual, so a formal report would say chaotic or crowded instead.
