Hoop

(1) To insert a high note or series of high notes, during a special time in a gospel song - either during a music break or at the end of a leader's solo/lead in a fast last paced song; using vibrato - usually sang by a mean ole soprano but can be sang by anyone. (Great hopsel choirs usually have about 2-3 tenors that can hit the high notes as well)

(2) When a preacher begins to get deep in his/her sermon that he/she often begins to growl, take heavy deep breaths in between statements (also called a tune-up)

(1) "Did you hear that tenor hit that high hoop at the end of that verse?! It was perfect! Sound like James Hall and WAP's tenors."

(2) "Rev. Smith started hooping and tore up the church....tuned up the whole song!"

static hoop

When about to engage in anal sex - preferably in the standing or kneeling position, one person rubs his feet on the carpet to gather some static electricity.

When the physical contact is made onto the anus, there will be the initial shock of penetration AND an electrical shock from the static electricity.

Anita: I'm gonna do anal tonight with my boyfriend
Jennifer: Make sure you're not on the carpet when you do it or else you'll get static hoop.
