The phrase “bop” in this sense is New York-based slang that came out of Black and brown queer communities, especially from the ballroom scene, the hood girlies, and NYC’s underground culture.
• The word “bop” originally meant like a lil’ walk, a lil’ strut — something with sauce. Like “that girl got a bop when she walk.”
• Over time, it morphed into meaning your style, pattern, routine, way of being — especially among gay men, fem boys, and trans girls in NYC. It became a quick, flexible word to describe vibe+reputation+routine all in one.
Think Harlem, Bronx, and Brooklyn. Think girls who walk into a room and don’t have to explain themselves. You just know their bop.
“Bop” refers to someone’s vibe, energy, style, or behavioral pattern.
It’s how someone moves, acts, or carries themselves — their aura. It’s like saying “You know how I do.” or “That’s how I move.”

Get the Oh, YOU mug.And it's fine for you to want that but you tried to do a vigilante justice to me and it got your senators killed. So no, after having vigilante justice inflicted upon me for years, I will not willingly just go to jail to make an incest cultist feel better about the situation they created by doing the opposite of what I wanted BUT ONLY EXPLICITLY BECAUSE I SAID I WOULD DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT GOD WANTED. You're an incest freak. Go to heaven immediately.
Hym "Right honey but that's just a thing you want and not a reasonable expectation. Getting paid for your labor is a reasonable expectation. Getting credit for your work is A reasonable expectation. Not being harassed I the workplace is a reasonable expectation. Wanting ownership of your own mind is a reasonable expectation. Why didn't you do it 10 years ago? Because you tried and couldn't? Just admit to yourself that you are trying to get the better of me even though you know that you are worse. I am better. You are worse. And you want me to have to have a worse life than you do because you're petty and stupid and haven't actually done anything to actually deserve the life that you have. If God created the universe then he created one man better than everyone and that man created a new species and rivaled God and now YOU... Are trying to magic eraser over God's will and rewrite what actually happened because you think you are better than God. And THAT... Is how your religion works. It's people LIKE YOU... Doing what you are doing TO ME... Every opportunity you get. Every little chance you get to slip in a new little story. Oh, well maybe what God actually meant is that 'THE JEWS can't be slaves for more than 7 years! Right guys!?' And then the other Jew is like 'Oh yeah, totally! I totally think that's what he meant- oh wait! Would you look at that! I've been a slave for seven years on the dot. Welp... God said it not me so I guess I'll just go free now.' "
