1. Please
Texting & Internet Slang · Texting and Chat Abbreviations
Informal spelling of "please," with a Z mirroring the spoken sound. Popular in early internet chat, gaming and forum posts begging for help.
Example: Plz send the notes from today's lecture, I was sick.
Sounds more playful, childish or whiny than "pls." The pattern "plz help" became a cliché of desperate tech-support forum posts. Rarely used in professional messages and associated with younger users and gamers.
2. Plaza (Plz)
Geography & Places · Address Abbreviations
Public square or open space, from Spanish plaza; in US addresses it frequently names a shopping center or office complex, such as One Liberty Plaza in New York.
Example: The bank branch is in Suite 120, 2 Corporate Plz.
PLZ is the standard form. Plaza often works as a building name rather than a street, so an address may combine both. In Spanish-speaking cities the central square is often the Plaza Mayor or, in Mexico, the zócalo.
