      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?

      I had heard of it as a millennial-Z cusp child from the central midwest US. “Mad hops” was when we were really hamming up our props to each other, and “hops” just meant you could jump high, possibly making it look effortless.

          I'm more mainline Millennial, possibly 'elder Millennial', grew up in the PNW, heard it in the same way that you did, though possibly more matter of factly and genuienly.

          This was when people would call out 'Jordan!' (as in Michael Jordan) prior to attempting a 3 pointer, and then people would shout either 'Brick!' to mean they thought it would miss, or various other phrases to mean they'd think the shot was good.

          No clue if this latter part was widespread, regional, or just some weird quirk of my hometown.

              TIL why Dean Winters says "brick" to a basketball player in a car insurance commercial.

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

                      Having no way of finding out if you're telling the truth or not, I choose to believe

                      'tis truth, friend. And it's absolutely fucking adorable. YouTube "popcorning guinea pigs" or rats or whatever, it's so fucking cute.
