A slang expression from the US Army, it originated during the Vietnam War and may be derived from the Vietnamese “di di mau", meaning to go quickly. Usage by American troops altered the meaning somewhat so that it referred to walking with dance steps or with an exaggerated swagger. It was used in the context of walking carelessly whilst on patrol in enemy territory, without paying proper attention to your surroundings and putting yourself and other members of the patrol at risk. The meaning later expanded to include moving or acting without considering other people.

When we out on patrol, that dumbass STRAC REMF gonna get us all killed with ‘is diddy bopping.

Love Bombing

When someone comes back all of a sudden to shower you with over the top displays of affection, flirtation, etc. They have been “hot and cold” with you over and over— in your life one minute and then ghosting you the next without warning.

This CAN BE a manipulative, narcissist tactic; used to see if they still have a “hold” on you. Makes you disposable to their discretion when they’re bored.

“Omg Charles just texted me again! It’s been two months! He’s asking me to go out to dinner with him and is being so cute, I’m so excited!”

“Girl, you know he’s just love bombing you. He ghosted you a hundred times and is talking to like three other women on Instagram. He’s just thirsty and wants benefits from you.”
