"feeze" apparently meant to Shakespeare something on the order of "getting
things done." Meanwhile Chambers does *not* connect it to "feasible" which amazed me. And the fact that Mr. Barrs didn't get it, of course.

Re: [Dixonary] PHEAZAR results!
But all three of the dictionaries I checked define "mustache" as hair growing on the UPPER lip. If it's on the lower lip, it isn't a mustache.
