[Misc] Is my fit drip?

[Guinness Boy]

Just been asked this by youngest GB (who was grinning in the certain knowledge I wouldn’t know what she was on about).

It marks the first time I’ve been totally at a loss to understand anything in a sentence a young person has said to me, in context.

Has this happened to you yet? If so what was the phrase? I don’t think anything has made me feel quite as out of touch

It happened to me when this was posted on Twitter last year

You need to either
A/ check to make sure she hasn't had a stroke
B/ take her to a speech therapist
C/ clip her round the back of the head for being young and annoying

She's just taking the mickey. If she had thought there was a remote possibility you knew what it meant, she wouldn't be asking her Dad's opinion anyway!

I’d just ask her to tell you who sold her the drugs, and then ask if you can have some.

Alternatively go on urban dictionary, which suggests it’s a term used to denote that the wearer’s outfit is (or should) give the wearer extreme confidence/swagger. Although she’s got it wrong, it should be dripfit. Do feel free to let your daughter know she’s being corrected by an elderly gentleman.

Urban Dictionary: dripfit

An outfit that when worn feels customized, giving the wearer extreme swagger and confidence.

Sometimes I'll click on one of the trending topics on X and read through some of the tweets. Four minutes later I'll still have no clue who any of the names mentioned are, whether what they've done is good or bad, or why the topic is even trending in the first place.

That’s not advisable. Mainly because half her DNA is mine.

 

[Eeyore]

I don't know what's happening here.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

That’s not advisable. Mainly because half her MDMA is mine.

Corrected for you

"Is my fit drip?"

"Is my outfit stylish?"

"Might it be, perchance, that my attire pleases the eye in a sartorially elegant way?"

To be fair to your daughter, fit in this context appears to be slang for gear/clobber and drip or drippy roughly translates as extremely cool.

Heaven help us all.

I still can't come to terms with sick being a good thing!

A couple of times I have had a drip (an intravenous boost of vitamins) that has aided me warding off a cold and keeping me, therefore, fit in the past. And that’s what I thought it was but Urban Dictionary came to my rescue to continue my education…

No it’s not

Kids. Absolute morons. Just like we were when we were kids.
Having a vasectomy before having kids is still the best life choice I've ever made.

Thank God for Google for us old timers :

Fit is a shortening of outfit. It can relate to carefully selected streetwear or even a digital wardrobe in a video game. Drip or dripping is a way to compliment another by remarking on the absolutely superb quality of their clothing or accessory selection

No kidding.

How is she going to get a decent job if she cannot make herself understood? Ridiculous behaviour

 

[WATFORD zero]

I showed my 27 year old daughter this and she got it right

But then admitted it was a complete guess and she is now feeling very middle aged
