Isn't BasicJizz a play on words on Basic Jez an old School Room (??) problem?? Thus very slightly clever as well as completely inoffensive (it's hardly ISuckedHitlersCock or GapingVagina etc).
Tomtom that was a slightly puerile escalation of censorship wars, I'm much more mature these days* ::)
* - almost of the a 14 year old's sense of humour now!

The concept was popularised in birdwatching, but is so useful that it has since been adopted increasingly widely by field biologists in referring to the impression of the general characteristics of other animals.[1][2][3] It similarly appears in such fields of observational biology as microscopy.[4] Ecologists and botanists may speak of "habitat jizz" or the jizz of a plant.[5]
Sean Dooley described jizz as "the indefinable quality of a particular species, the 'vibe' it gives off" and notes that although it is "dismissed by many as some kind of birding alchemy, there is some physical basis to the idea of jizz."[6]
Experienced birders can often make reliable identifications in the field at a glance by using jizz. Often jizz is useful for identifying to the family or genus level, rather than the species level, as in: "It definitely had the jizz of a thrush, but I couldn't see what kind."

Pretty sure Giss was a WW2 reference to identifying enemy aircraft and stood for "General Impression of Size and Shape" which, post war, transferred to birding and identification of birds via the general impression of size and shape .
Bastardised into Jizz as some unknown point.
