Uh yeah, maybe its a bit outdated of slang now, but … ‘you’ve got hops’ is basically ‘you can jump high’.
Hops is … I guess just older, 90s/00s, Millenial slang for ‘jumping ability/prowess/skill’, something like that.
‘Mad hops’ meaning like… how you’d say ‘she’s got mad skills’, its meant as a uh, positive compliment, its an adjective basically meaning ‘impressive’ or ‘unbelievable’.
Interesting. I could extrapolate the meaning, but I’m a bit older than your description of “outdated” and have never heard it in that context before. Perhaps I was just too unpopular to hear it.
Yeah, there’s a lot of fairly age specific lingo in all age brackets… and its possible the ‘mad hops’ phrasing also had a regional component that I just never noticed due to not travelling to many other parts of the US as a kid?
Today I watched a YouTube video in which two people played a game, one person jumped, and the other said “whoa, you’ve got hops!”
At the time I took it literally, but now I see you saying the same thing and am forced to wonder: is that a thing? I ask sincerely, not with derision.

Thanks for the edification!

Oops, I assumed you were Gen Z or A!
Uh, uh,… radical, tubular, or something, lol.
