HIP
Portability act abbreviation
Hip is the joint connecting the leg to the torso, or the fleshy area around it: She broke her hip in the fall.
To shoot from the hip is to act impulsively, without careful aim.
Separately, hip means aware of current trends and culture—someone who knows what's happening: He's hip to the scene.
The exclamation hip hip hooray uses yet another hip, a meaningless syllable in the cheer.
