Jumb: a retard or otherwise generally or mentally incapable person
Walking home last night, about 10.30pm, I caught ZAP in the act.
Nonchalantly, I walked through the car wash between Victoria Street and Darlinghurst Road, silently cursing myself that I’d left the camera at home. All the while, 2 capped men plastered a “J” on the wall of the stencil gallery, adjacent to the rapping dinosaurs.
This morning, their handywork was up for all to see.
Strange message, Zap.
UPDATE: 21/8/09
Mystery solved. But like most solutions to mysteries, it’s a bit disappointing.
Another oversize ZAP paste-up in Chippendale:

That one’s been there for a while.
And Jumb might be Jumbo, who also does large paste-ups around town (There’s one opposite Cafe Giulia, and is/was one at the start of Omnibus Lane near the PHM, which was 90% torn down just before all the Sydney Design EyeSaw stuff went up this week)

Well picked, Pat.
It’s Jumbo alright….
It’s in Sydenham and over here too.

He’s done it again with the Jumbo Zap. This time it’s on the corner of Stanley and Bourke Streets, opposite the Christian City Church.
