hip

The state of being in-the-know, including, but not limited to, being stylish or fashionable. It is sometimes claimed to have replaced its predecessor, "hep," with the 1946 popular song, "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66," first recorded by Nat Cole, and the Rolling Stones (and many others) after that. According to the songwriter, he changed "hep" to "hip" for the sake of a rhyme (see example).

. . . get hip / To this kindly tip / And take that California trip,/ Get your kicks on Route 66.

Hipped

The devious, yet conspicuous act of thrusting one's ass in the path of an opponent in order to cause a fall and thwart their efforts.

Coach K. in response to Grayson Allen's flagrant foul, "Do you think that was the only time someone was hipped in the game?"

On Black Friday I had my hands on the last Roomba at Best Buy before I was ruthlessly hipped by a more determined consumer who snatched it up and dashed to the checkout.
