1889 ‘L. Carroll’ Sylvie & Bruno vi. 75 Bruno..picked a fruit... ‘It hasn't got no taste at all!’ he complained. ‘It was a Phlizz,’ Sylvie gravely replied.

1889 ‘L. Carroll’ Sylvie & Bruno xx. 294 They will be sorry when they find them [sc. flowers] gone!.. The nosegay was only a Phlizz.

1899 Johnson Club Papers 188 We crown the musicians with flowers that, like poor Bruno's in the fairy tale, are but a phlizz.

1926 J. Galsworthy Silver Spoon ii. ix. 187 What was his image of her but a phlizz, but a fraud?

1926 J. Galsworthy Silver Spoon ii. xii. 218 Was Foggartism a phlizz?

1933 G. Chapman Passionate Prodigality xi. 195 They never came back, and to this day I am not sure whether I did not meet a phlizz.

2004 forums.egullet.com 16 July (O.E.D. Archive) The Phlizz Multimedia Diet!.. What a great get-rich-slow scheme. Oh—no, of course, not Phlizz: a Phlizz doesn't taste or smell like anything but air.
