Ahem.
"Wazoo." Slang term for "anus." Sometimes also referred to as "asshole,"
"fudge factory," "poop chute," "chocolate whizzwang," "Hershey hole," etc. The
phrase "up the wazoo" usually means that someone has an excess or surfeit of
something, typically (but not always) something *good*.
For instance, "That girl's so rich, she's got money up the wazoo." Variant:
"...money coming out the/her wazoo."
This latter phrase was the basis for an extremely funny SuperBowl ad for an
online investment agency a few years ago.
Always ready with a definition,
Garth
