From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
zoomorphism
n
  1. the attribution of animal forms or qualities to a god
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Zo94morphic \Zo`[94]*mor"phic\, a. [Zo[94]- + Gr. [?] form.]
      Of or pertaining to zo[94]morphism.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Zo94morphism \Zo`[94]*mor"phism\, n.
      1. The transformation of men into beasts. [R.] --Smart.
  
      2. The quality of representing or using animal forms; as,
            zo[94]morphism in ornament.
  
      3. The representation of God, or of gods, in the form, or
            with the attributes, of the lower animals.
  
                     To avoid the error of anthropomorphism, we fall into
                     the vastly greater, and more absurd, error of
                     zo[94]morphism.                                 --Mivart.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   zxnrbl
  
      /sner'b*l/ Incorrect data introduced by transmission
      errors; any corrupted or uninterpretable data.
  
      The word originated in a 1978 advertisement for a
      Mockingboard, which "makes frogs croak, princesses shriek, and
      martians zxnrbl."
  
      "It's not misspelled on the original page.   The Internet must
      have zxnrbled it on the way to you."
