When people (typically white people) start using the metaphors, cadence or slang of another culture simply because it sounds cool, and not because they are familiar with the culture. The effect occurs when the linguistic traits become widespread enough to become diluted and meaningless, and are dropped entirely by their originators.
The word "flippity-floppity-floop" came from South Park, when the issue of language gentrification was briefly touched on (whether intentional or not) in the episode "South Park is Gay". Wherein Chef describes how black people began using the word because white people started saying "hizzouse" and "hizzizouse", with the scene humorously ending with Mr. Garrison using the new word much to Chef's chagrin.
