I have noticed, with great frustration, the name "Zoopers" is taken as a screen name on both Skype and AIM. With a little research, I found that the name is not as unique as I had hoped.
Apparently, there is a Zoopers.com, a "Zooper car" in a children's tv show, A "Zooper" child seat, and even a "Zoopers kid's club," which is at least logical, considering it's at a zoo.
I could swear they didn't exist when I first picked the name, two years ago, for my character in KoL. I'm really bummed out about it.
Now, some of YOU might be wondering where I got the name from. It's mostly a bit of nonsense. I think I was looking at a spelling of "super" as "sooper," and it was a pretty small jump to make "Zoopers." I thought I had a pretty good grip on the name, with characters on Kingdom of Loathing and Urban Dead, but I guess not. It's still obscure enough to grab on forums and online games, but man . . . Skype and AIM? What can I do?
Now I wonder what the word brings to mind for people. A kid's club, a child's seat, or a martini-sucking, pool-cue wielding psychopath? There's probably a variation on the word "bloopers," too.
I can't allow my good name to be corrupted in this manner. Please help me by using "Zoopers" as a slang term for some bizarre sex act. Pretend it's common knowledge and spread it around. Eventually get it on wikipedia.
I think it should mean to bludgeon someone mid-coitus.
"My husband and I occaisionally give each other zoopers to keep things interesting. "
"Yeah, she was getting a little too loud, so I zooped her and finished my business."
"I zooped your mom last night. I had to call the paramedics."
Silly, sexy, and somehow horrifying. Perfect.
