A slang expression from the US Army, it originated during the Vietnam War and may be derived from the Vietnamese “di di mau", meaning to go quickly. Usage by American troops altered the meaning somewhat so that it referred to walking with dance steps or with an exaggerated swagger. It was used in the context of walking carelessly whilst on patrol in enemy territory, without paying proper attention to your surroundings and putting yourself and other members of the patrol at risk. The meaning later expanded to include moving or acting without considering other people.

Similar to a swagger but more of the B-Boy variety with the bad ass untouchable attitude (Swagger relates more to confidence than attitude). Diddy bopping is like walking with a slight limp purposely to create the facade of a bad ass.
It might be okay for Steve to take that picture in his B-Boy stance but I don't think he should be diddy bopping through this neighborhood.

An overhand hook with so much force that, (if hit by) makes the recipient regret ever waking up that morning, and coming to the fight.
