shout-out
Verbal hat tip
A shout-out is a public acknowledgment or expression of thanks, typically brief and informal: I want to give a shout-out to everyone who helped.
Common in broadcasts, speeches, and social media, it recognizes someone without extended commentary.
The term emerged from hip-hop culture, where artists acknowledged friends, family, or neighborhoods during performances or recordings.
