A form of walking with exaggerated movements or gestures. Usually a strange swagger or a false limp is employed, somtimes with one or both arms swinging. The purpose of the bop is to give the performer a tough or self confident image, and in the case of a limp, to suggest that he has been the victim of a shooting somewhere in his leg or waist. The more ridiclous looking the bop is, the bigger a pussy the person is likely to be. Laughing aloud at one of these performers will usually be greeted with no more than a scowl or frown, known as a screwface. If you happen to get in the way of a bop the performer may 'kiss his teeth' and may even attempt to barge past you. Do not hesitate to reprimand the performer, he is quite harmless. He may incinuate that he has a loaded pistol by cocking his fingers like a gun. It is unlikely.
Feel free to add more examples, these are examples I have witnessed -
the brixton slide - one leg walks almost normally while the other (usually highlighted with a rolled up trouser leg)is swung by the hip, so that the foot drags along the floor.
the battersea clock bop- along with a strange swagger, one arm is swung in front of the body in a pendulum like motion from left to right, as if the performer is miming a walking grandfather clock.
the Richmond hop - the performer takes three large steps, and on the fourth makes a small hopping movement. For example, he would take three steps, right foot, left foot, right foot, and instead of going back to the left he propels himself into the air off the right, lands back on the right foot and plants the left to begin the sequence again. It sometimes resembles a sprinter warming down after a race.

common slang originates from the claudia, used to describe a sudden feeling or urge to say something.

A form of "Pig Latin"-like slang in which words are formed by spelling them out, adding the suffix "-op" to the consonants, and pronouncing the long form of the vowels. Also known as "bop talk."
Bop talk was something of a schoolyard fad in the Central Connecticut area in the early '60s. I have no idea if it originated there, or if it ever existed elsewhere.
Bop talk was something of a schoolyard fad in the Central Connecticut area in the early '60s. I have no idea if it originated there, or if it ever existed elsewhere.
For example, the term "Bop talk" would be:
"Bop-o-pop top-a-lop-kop."
Other examples:
"Hop-i, hop-o-wop a-rop-e yop-o-u?" ("Hi, how are you?")
"I-mop dop-o-i-nop-gop fop-i-nop-e." ("I'm doing fine.")
"Lop-e-top-sop gop-o dop-rop-i-nop-kop-i-nop-gop sop-o-mop-e-wop-hop-e-rop-e a-fop-top-e-rop top-hop-e gop-a-mop-e." ("Let's go drinking somewhere after the game.")
"Nop-o -- I wop-a-nop-nop-a gop-e-top hop-i-gop-hop rop-i-gop-hop-top nop-o-wop!" ("No -- I wanna get high right now!")
"Cop-o-o-lop! Gop-o-top a-nop-y-top-hop-i-nop-gop o-nop yop-o-u?" ("Cool! Got anything on you?")
With a bit of practice you can learn to converse quite easily and to form long words and sentences without too much trouble.
