A really epic guy who can paddle like a mother fucker and make you the happiest person ever....a hippo's advice is the most valid advice someone could recieve. Someone that doesnt realize how good of a person he is. Doesnt realize how many people look up to him, and would do anything for him. A best friend, an older brother, life-long friend.
hippo is a nickname you give someone who is a complete hypocrite. they preech to you about something so uncool so intensly, and do that exact uncool thing. this nick works even better if they're starting to grow a double chin
Another word for hypocrite, as in some douchebong saying for example "You're bothering someone so why do you keep bothering them?" And they end up doing that like 5 seconds later.

Someone: "Quit it!" D:
Hippo: "Stop hitting that guy!" -While plucking someone else over and over.
Highest Paid Person's Opinion. Failing orgs usually have a HiPPO-wins culture. Often spotted in pre-digital\digital-denying companies with towering hierarchies. Bad decisions are made by managers who have never written a line of code in their lives and little knowledge versus the software engineers beneath them.
Software engineer: Why have we just spent a gazillion dollars on Oracle licences?
Software engineer2: Oh, a passing salesman pitched to our HiPPO head of department, and now he wants the DBAs to write our business logic in Stored Procedures
