Lesley-Jean Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Dictionary of slang says : on the razz / razzle Phrs. Indulging in alcohol, partying, generally having a good time. A shortening of on the razzle-dazzle. E.g." we're off out on the razzle tonight." So where we goin then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
