bop

Imitative of the sound made.

Shortened from bebop.

Variant of whop (“to move around quickly with an impact”) and bob (“to move gently vertically”) as well as from the dances above interpreted as a manner of locomotion.

Originated in the early 2000s as a slang term in African American Vernacular English. Early entries for bop in Urban Dictionary date to 2005 (describing “a female who gives head [fellatio] to anyone.”). The term was popularized among Gen-Zers in 2023, after TikTok user @theyhateonbiran1 posted a video explaining the etymology (derived as an abbreviation of “blown out pussy,” in reference to a female who has had multiple sexual partners, although it has been adapted to alternatively mean “baddie on point,” usually in reference to women who post sexually provocative or explicit content online).
