Spizz

Aka a "floor rat", someone who spent most of the 90s-00s working on one of the Chicago trading floors before trading was moved to electronic markets.

Spizzes usually have raw vocal cords from years of screaming in the pits and a permanent neck twitch caused by constantly having to adjust their jacket collar.

The uniform of a typical spizz is a CME floor clerk's jacket, flannel shirt, and black jeans.

"We interviewed four guys for this opening we had. Three were very well presented, but the last guy was a total spizz."
