Term for "common folk" or "blue collar" people. The term was created by a
nine year boy after he would witness three people sitting across a seat in a pickup
truck. Hip wiggies are several people sitting hip to hip in a pickup
truck. Later the term became broader to describe "common people" or "blue collar people". The term also became the name of a company that sells products to consumers.
The company markets it products to hip wiggies.
Hip wiggies once dominated the working class of
America, but as
society become more service oriented there was a shift to white collar professional jobs.
The pickup
truck was only large enough to sit three hip wiggies at a time.
