And further for the record, I believe this actually WAS slang back a 'long'
time ago... I seem to remember reading several books where characters
said "That's wizard!" or something to that effect, indicating how
cool/neat/awesome/etc something was. I THINK (I could easily be wrong) one
place I saw this was in Lord_of_the_Flies, which was written in the early
1950's, so possibly it was a more common saying around then...

  Another reference of note is Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None,
from 1939.
