keepin

Don't let go

Keepin is an informal spelling of "keeping," representing casual or rapid speech where the final g drops away.

It appears in text messages, social media, and dialogue meant to sound relaxed or vernacular: Just keepin it real, How you keepin?

The spelling signals an easygoing tone rather than formal writing.
