Bob, do you know the German words

<spelling type="phonetic">
"dutzen" and "zeetzen"
</spelling>

In the context of "Wir sind Freunde; wir 'dutzen' uns." or "Er ist mein
Chef. Ich muss ihn 'zeetzen'." ("We're friends, we can use 'du'". or "He's
my boss. I must use 'Sie' when speaking to him.")

I know "dutzen" is "dozen", so that's definitely not the way it's spelled,
but I can't even figure out if they're real words or something colloquial.

Ist woll prima wieder Deutsch zu reden!
