hippity
Playful bouncing movement
Hippity describes a hopping or bouncing movement, almost always appearing in the reduplicated phrase hippity-hop or hippity-hoppity.
The word is playful and childlike, evoking the gait of rabbits or the bounce of someone skipping along: Here comes Peter Cottontail, hippity-hopping down the bunny trail.
