Ignore the media, marketing, buzz, or rumors around a story, object or person -- it's nothing special. From the 1988 Public Enemy single "Don't Believe The Hype", which fought back against negative press about the band.

"Is the new Star Wars movie any good?"
"Nah, don't believe the hype"

i am the hype

What you scream into the ears and faces of all that dont believe the genuine leap in skill you just experienced.
Alternatively, either when you know solidly you're more than capable and people question it even in the face of concrete evidence, or when you are indeed a bad ass but your self image is a tad less than your actual self.

Trunks: Do you believe your own hype?!
Vegeta: I AM THE HYPE!!!

The Hype

a term used to describe someone, normally an average white girl, on tiktok who has gained a large amount of fame in a short amount of time for doing literally nothing. people then use the term to say “the hype is gone”, “the hype has been transferred”, “i don’t get the hype” which is honestly really annoying.

Charli used to have the hype, i mean at least she can dance, now that girl that pretends to be happy all the time has it.

Who’s next?
Probably another white girl.

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
