Sorry, but the wording of that question really cracked me up :-) :-).

"Jizz" is a term used to describe a general impression of the bird.  I think
it comes from wartime pilots who identified enemy aircraft by "general impres-
sion and shape" (giss).  A long winged jizz is my impression of the bird.  It
seems to me to be a gull with extra long wings.
