visit somewhere
where you going
i'm just going to zip over to the shops
it won't be long
i just zipped over to check on my
parents it means to pay a quick visit
but if i remove over and add into that
zip into
it's got a similar meaning
but here you're very specific about
where you're going let's look at some
examples
she had just zipped into the market to
buy some food so you're very specific
she's gone to the market

concentration or to fall asleep

or you're too drunk you zone out while
walking in the mall i zoned out for a
moment
meaning your vision was blacked out
and possibly for a second
and you felt a bit giddy i'm sure you
must have experienced this

on and then suddenly these girls they
started gossiping i lost all the focus i
lost concentration
