I've never heard the "zoop" part, but some of my oh-so-mature co-workers in the food service industry have declared "not it" as a particular customer approached the door. Rolling Eyes

"not it"'s the best!

you can't deny "not it". like "shotgun".

it's just the rules.

Okay, seriously... is 'zoop' that rare of a word? How did it become so WIDESPREAD in my town? This is so bizarre, I've been saying it since I was in middle school fighting about who got to bring the trays up for the day.

And now I still say it when calling who gets to drive.

I managed all right by staring down my co-workers until they served the customer anyway. Wink

I don't know.
I have vague memories of using all kinds of weird phrases in elementary school.
I don't specifically remember "zoop" though.
