Has anyone ever heard of the word: SHAZAM or SHAZAAM?

If so, what does it mean? I ran a search over the internet and I can't seem to find a clear-cut meaning. When I searched for Shazam I came across a marvel comic book with a character named Shazam. But when I do a search for Shazaam I come up with a bunch of hits, but nothing that defines what the word means. Can anyone here shed some light for me?

Ha! don't think you'll find it in Webster's. More then anything, it was a saying, relating to a comic figure. Kind'a like "all your bases,........" Sorry but can't remember the name of the comic it related to but it'll probably keep me awake for the night. THANKS ALOT!!! j/k

There was a cheesy tv show called "Shazam" on Saturday mornings in the late 70's/early 80's.

Some dork traveled around with an old guy and when there was trouble the dork would go into a Winnebago and "talk" to cartoon Greek Gods (If I remember correctly).
Then he'd yell out: "SHAZAM" and turn into a quasi-superhero wearing a dopey red costume with a lightning bolt on it.

I think that's what is was, or maybe that might have been a flashback of a mescaline trip I had about 10 years ago.

Shazam is what you say after you perform a magic trick correctly.

"We will now attempt to cut this woman in half....shazaaaaaam".

Or I could see Bart Simpson saying it on the episode where he "has the power". "I have the power!", "Shazaaaaym!"
