Shazbot

Shazbot is a fictional catchphrase originating from the American television sitcom Mork & Mindy, which aired from 1978 to 1982. The character Mork, an alien from the planet Ork, played by Robin Williams, frequently used "Shazbot" as an exclamation of surprise, frustration, or amusement. The word itself is not meant to have a specific translation and serves as a linguistic quirk of the Orkan language within the show's universe.

The phrase quickly became a memorable aspect of the show and a popular catchphrase among its viewers. Its nonsensical nature and Robin Williams's energetic delivery contributed to its widespread recognition and cultural impact. "Shazbot" has since appeared in various forms of media and popular culture, often as a humorous reference to Mork & Mindy or as a general exclamation of exasperation. Its enduring presence reflects the lasting popularity of the character and the show. The origin of the word "Shazbot" within the Mork & Mindy lore is attributed to the Orkan language, though no definitive meaning was ever provided, allowing it to function as a versatile interjection for Mork.
