Answer 1

Persecuting or harassing with humiliating tasks, words, or actions.

According to the organization StopHazing.org, in the sixth century BC, Emperor Justinian of Byzantine outlawed the hazing of first year law students. There is no mention of hazing in written records again until the Middle Ages. Scholars propose that the practice was successfully eradicated until university members found old documents of codified Roman Law detailing Justinian’s decree. It was then that students of the Middle Ages document hazing practices of first year students. From then until the present there has been a continuing issue with hazing. (Nuwer, 1999)

Answer 2

"Hazing" is harrassment. The word comes from the "hazing ceremonies" people who wanted to join fraternities or sororities had to (ond often still have to) go through. Some of these things were so bad that someone would actually die, so colleges have cut back on what's allowed. The "hazing" was supposed to be a test of whether people had what it takes to fit in, but sometimes it was just cruelty.

I guess from your question that people are now using the word more generally.

Hazy Weather Meaning

Answer 4

Haze is an atmospheric phenomenon where dust, smoke and other dry particles obscure the clarity of the sky. The WMO manual of codes includes a classification of horizontal obscuration into categories of fog, ice fog, steam fog, mist, haze, smoke, volcanic ash, dust, sand and snow. [1]

Sources for haze particles include farming (ploughing in dry weather), traffic, industry, forest fires and peat field fire.

Seen from afar (e.g. approaching airplane), haze appears brownish, while mist is bluish-grey. While haze formation is a phenomenon of dry air, mist formation is in humid air. However, haze particles may act as condensation nuclei for later mist droplet formation.

The title of the song is a play on the spelling of a city in Iowa, which is actually spelled Des Moines. Google it on google maps. Wow, do they not teach geography in school anymore or what?
