Word: Heinz 57 Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From the “57 Varieties” slogan introduced by the H. J. Heinz Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., in 1896 to advertise the fact that it produced numerous food products. Heinz is derived from the surname of the American entrepreneur Henry John Heinz (1844–1919) who founded the company (borrowed from German Heinz), while 57 was apparently an arbitrary number chosen by Heinz because 5 was his lucky number and 7 his wife’s lucky number; at the time, the company was already selling more than 60 products. Pronunciation: /ˈhaɪnz ˌfɪftiˈsɛvn̩/, /ˈhaɪnz ˌfɪftiˈsɛvən/ 1. A thing comprising parts from many different sources; a complete mix; a hodgepodge, a mishmash. Labels: US, also, attributive, countable, humorous, informal Example: The next thing to ascertain is how much of the motorcycle you want is there and what condition it is in. Harley-Davidsons have a high degree of parts interchangeability. […] Is the stock 1939 Harley-Davidson you are looking at 100% 1939 or is it 50% 1939 and 50% Heinz-57, or does it only have a motor with 1939 crankcases sitting in a 1972 chassis? Example: Then, too, designers and developers who've taken the time to learn the Heinz 57 varieties of proprietary scripting and authoring might see little reason to learn anything new—or might be too busy learning JSP, ASP, or .NET to even think about changing their fundamental front-end techniques. 2. A thing comprising parts from many different sources; a complete mix; a hodgepodge, a mishmash. Labels: US, also, attributive, countable, humorous, informal, uncountable Example: There just wasn’t any place on the farm for four more Heinz 57 dogs running around.

Example: Walking into the SPCA [Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals] grounds, I was greeted with a cacophony of barking, from high-pitched yelps to low woofs. There were all varieties, mostly Heinz 57s, from big shaggy collies to little sausages in all shapes and colours. 3. A thing comprising parts from many different sources; a complete mix; a hodgepodge, a mishmash. Labels: US, also, attributive, countable, derogatory, humorous, informal, sometimes, uncountable Example: If I had an ethnic base to identify from, if I was even Irish American, that would have been something formed, if I was a working-class woman, that would have been something formed. But to be a Heinz 57 American, a white, class-confused American, land of the Kleenex type American, is so formless in and of itself. It only takes shape in relation to other people. Example: My father was first-generation American. My mother is a bit more on the Heinz 57 side. She's got a strong Germanic background, a little bit of British, and my maternal grandmother is French-Canadian. 4. A variety of draw poker in which the five and seven playing cards are wild cards.
