There are a plethora of males, now ages about 20-32, named Zack.

Some spell it Zach, Zak, etc. but it's all the same.

Were they named after some famous Zachary, Zak, whatever?

1. Yes, I know a Zach;

I think he is around 25 or so.

2. Even younger too....

I'm sitting in an 11th grade classroom with two. A Zach and a Zak..... and another kid (Joey) whose older sibling I taught last year and is a ZACK.
Go Figure.

7. Wasn't "Zach" the first name of the lead character on "Saved By The Bell?"

That was about 20-odd years ago, right?

8. Wikipedia says that show aired from 1989 to 1993, so that's about 20 years. nt

9. My brother is slightly below that age group (he's 18) but he is named Zach.

Short for Zachary. No idea why my parents picked that name.

10. A plethora?

I ♥ that word.

El Guapo: Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?
Jefe: A what?
El Guapo: A *plethora*.
Jefe: Oh yes, you have a plethora.
El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?
Jefe: Why, El Guapo?
El Guapo: Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.
Jefe: Forgive me, El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?

11. And I am not one of them.

Thank god.
