General • Easy negation of expressions?

Hello all!
What is the simplest practical way to negate an OR expression, or in fact any other expression, as it is a common task you look for something and then want to see the remainder.
For example, suppose I have
jo|sam|kim|...
The natural wish is to do something like (which won't work)
!(jo|sam|kim|...)
or perhaps
not:jo|sam|kim|...
not:(jo|sam|kim|...)
as those involve little typing, rather than
!jo !sam !kim !...
which involves altering all the terms, of which there may be many

Thanks in advance!
