What does UNHIP mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Not hip or fashionable; lacking awareness of current trends, style or popular culture.
Unhip describes a person, style or attitude seen as out of step with what is currently considered cool or fashionable, the opposite of the slang word hip. It is used casually and often self-deprecatingly, as when someone jokes about their own unhip taste in music or clothes, and it carries little real insult beyond gentle teasing. The word became common alongside hip itself in the mid-twentieth century, borrowed from jazz and youth slang before spreading into everyday informal speech. Something can be unhip simply by being old-fashioned, or by never having been fashionable in the first place.
