    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 I could extrapolate the meaning, but I’m a bit older than your description of “outdated” and have never heard it in that context before.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.

    Thanks for the edification!

      Oops, I assumed you were Gen Z or A!

      Uh, uh,… radical, tubular, or something, lol.

      … Groovy?

      lol.

      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?
