"Drip is basically your clothes but like or your appearance but it's just like very stylish you know looking good looking let's say it doesn't have to be expensive but you just look really good and stylish that's basically you having drip. An example would be damn did you see his fit today he's got mad drip"
What it means
Two meanings, two moods. As an older insult, a drip is a boring, annoying little wet blanket who sucks the life out of the room. The newer meaning is the total opposite, drip is your style, the fit, the jewellery, the whole look when it’s looking seriously sharp and pricey. Context matters or you’ll accidentally start beef.
Usage examples
"He rocked up in creps and a clean tracksuit, proper drip. I joked he’s a drip for being late again, and he looked bare confused."
"New trainers, gold chain, fresh fade, the man walked in with serious drip."
"She's got drip for days, every fit looks like it cost a fortune even when it's all from the charity shop."
