ZALOP

A Group to promote the world wide acceptance and use to the word ZALOP.  ZALOP means ABSOLUTELY NO WAY DEFINITELY NOT NADA NIX.  It is essential this word is said in an emphatic tone. Accents do not matter in this regard.

  • cheryl penn

    Welcome to new ZALOP members :-) - remember - spread the word! Thanks Guido  for the envelope (has not arrived yet!) X

  • Heleen de Vaan

    I insisted (and still do so) on Lopza... Though I'm afraid Zalop has won...

    Anyway, Cheryl made me very happy with this fine Zalop on a beautiful Envelop!

  • cheryl penn

    And I haven't forgotten Lopza either :-)) - I'll put it on my next letter to you - great blog by the way :-) X

    Eduardo, una zaloperia de poema. Muchos zalopes para ti.

  • Eduardo Cardoso

    Thank you MaMa! :D

  • Mail Art Martha

    I am very much in need of a word that the English language does not have. I think this is the place to ask for a term that designates those deprived and deluded people that are not Mail Artists, let alone Iuomartists. It should include both the general population and artists who do not practise Mail Art.

    Perhaps Zlober, any suggestions?

  • cheryl penn

    Mail Art Martha - I've just been given two new words!! Perhaps one of them will be that - they just TELL you what they mean once you've said them out loud - the one means "NO WAYS am I going with you" and the other - well - I've just got to get through the next two days then I'll hear what it whispers :-)) XX

  • cheryl penn

    Ruud - I was feeling like the Hypatia of Z - looks like I'll have to expand that! THANK YOU :-) XX

  • Ruud Janssen

    You never know where Zalop will lead to.....

  • Mail Art Martha

    Ruud, were you given that great logo by  Keith Bates? I got one from him too, absolutely superb, but where to use it, now I know.

  • Ruud Janssen

    Hi Mail Art Martha, Yes, Keith Bates made that one for me. I already traced 5 of them on Facebook, so I guess I found the 6th one. Looking foreward to see it.....

    Cheryl Penn left the IUOMA some days ago.

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    But Cheryl will be back one day...let her take a break for now. She has a big book exhibit going on in So. Africa and she has worked hard getting us all together in collaborations. Time for a vacation...ZALOP and Zolop and Zolip will go on :-)

    ...'will do, Michael!

  • Michael Orr

    Yay! THanks MomKat! :D 

  • Heleen de Vaan

    As a non-native English speaker words like 'cap' and 'hat' are difficult to me. This was noticed by the famous neurologist Zalop, who (incorrectly) thought of the diagnosis lectical agnosia. She wrote this book on this subject. Which flatters me though.

  • Jen

    Hey everybody! I have a mail art call on the Mail Art Projects Info. Please check it out - http://iuoma-network.ning.com/group/mail-art-projects/forum/topics/...  I want to surprise my husband with anniversary mail art cards for our 2nd wedding anniversary.  Thanks!! Take care.

    from Brain Cell #982, back then...

  • De Villo Sloan

    nice find, res.

    And for all the curious folks - res found Cheryl's Zalop group!

  • Eduardo Cardoso

    I think I tried to play that score once on my drums. I should try again with my no-input mixer and synth.

  • De Villo Sloan

    I don't know, res. We see the interest in Zalop. People have asked about Trashpo. IUOMA has many new members. Questions about all this debris scattered around the site seem only natural.

  • Ruud Janssen

    It's all Zalop to me.

  • Heleen de Vaan

    Not No but Zalop
