    If they’re at all like cavies aka guinea pigs they are happy playing. The behavior is called popcorning in cavies.

      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.

        Uh yeah, maybe its a bit outdated of slang now, but … ‘you’ve got hops’ is basically ‘you can jump high’.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 I could extrapolate the meaning, but I’m a bit older than your description of “outdated” and have never heard it in that context before.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.

          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?

    The appointed time fast approaches.

    Indeed. We may waylay the plot not a day more. My fur grows damp and paws weary from waiting. What shall you spend your remunerations upon?

    I’m not certain how much Mrs Jefferson earns, but perhaps something human like a mink coat or a peace lily. Let us reconvene upon transforming our earning.

    Indeed, tata for now
