Is "strope" or "stroop(e)" the verb. I mean, do you "strope it" or do you
"stroop it." I am lost. Are we talking painting or music or some odd
variety of something else?? Did Jackson Pollack, for example, "stroop" it,
or "strope." Are there actually people called "stroopers" or "stropers"?
I actually think it's a wonderful word, no matter how employed.
Though for some reason I don't think I would like to be either strooped or
stroped. But maybe somebody here could volunteer and tells us about it??
Back to work,
