Drip
Declining⏳OutdatedDefinition
Fashion, style, or an outfit that looks exceptionally good. Having 'drip' means your outfit game is strong. Replaced 'swag' as the go-to fashion compliment.
Translation for Parents
It means great fashion sense or a great outfit. 'He's got drip' = 'he's dressed really well.' It replaced 'swag' and has been more resilient, but it's definitely past its prime. Your kid probably won't use it earnestly in 2026.
Examples
“Check the drip, new Jordans”
“Look at my stylish new Jordan shoes”
“She always has the best drip”
“She always wears the most stylish outfits”
Cringe Score
Your kid will cringe
Referring to your new khakis as 'drip' is the kind of ironic dad humor that makes everyone uncomfortable. That's what makes it powerful.
