Anonymous  +  878234 Fri, 28 Aug 09 06:34 PM Can anybody helps me? I don't know what means word ZAP? In this sentence that word is writen with all capital letters, did anybody know why? Is it a verb or is it acronym? "So, next time you've got your finger on the button ready to ZAP the rest of the family with your assertiveness, think about the power game you're playing". It is the end of text about psychological researh of dominance in modern family. Thank you a lot! Maria Anonymous Capital Letters, Writing, Sentences, Acronyms

	Clive  +  878270 Fri, 28 Aug 09 07:02 PM Hi, Have a look here. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/zap   It's a slang term, informal. It's not an acronym. I don't know why the writer used capitals. Perhaps in error, or to add a lot of emphasis.   Clive Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,630 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo Mistakes, Acronyms
