hip-hopping
Leaping like rabbits
Hip-hopping describes movement in quick, bouncy hops or jumps: A rabbit came hip-hopping across the lawn.
The word captures the rhythmic, repetitive quality of hopping—each hop followed by another in sequence.
It can also describe casual engagement with hip-hop culture, though this use is less common.
