    using the correct syntax for ZALOP is tricky.

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    I ZALOP, you ZALOP, he ZALOPs, she ZALOPs, they ZALOP...

    We were ZALOPed....

    It is ZALOP Asemics, and ZALOP Trashpo, ZALOP Sandpo...

    Review note:  Ruud has been making a performance score titled Fluxus Words since 1988.  The project was exhibited in San Francisco (1996), Moscow (2004) and new York (2010). ZALOP is  part of this score :-) X

    I have worked for 2 years for a company that invented names for other companies or products, so be careful with "names without meanings". They are always meaningful by associations and a certain word or sound can mean or appeal to something quite different from one country to the other, from one language to another. I stopped doing this job because I felt like a prostitute (selling my creativity for a consumer market, yakkes!)

    So ZALOP, associations that spring to my mind

    In French: close to the sound of the word SALAUD or SALOPPE (bastard, the femail variation is often used to indicate a sex crazy girl or porn addict or porn star).

    ZAL OP, I shall on (Dutch)

    ZALOP, OPZADELEN (to burden someone with a problem), OP STAL (in the stable)

    ZAL OP, ZAAL OPEN (the room is open, again a sexual metaphor folks)

    ZALOP, LOP, LOOP, LOPLOP ( a loop, to run, period in the art of Max Ernst)

    Someone wants to do this from other tongues?

    The word is not okay for a commercial product but for art, miam miam mama mia !!!

    Don't think this is a joke, the company I worked for invented YARIS for Toyota and that's only one example.

    ZALOPAS

    SALAUPARDS (bastards, plurial)

    ZAAL OPPAS (the babysitter or surveyor of a room)

    ZAL OPPASSEN ( I shall be careful or prudent)

    May I make a new suggestion:

    ZALOPAX

    Repeat message - I will post a ZALOP hand painted envelope to any members of this group who send me their own variation - photos to follow this evening - WELCOME to the new  ZALOP group members - lets see your ZALOPS? :-) X
