Up until the summer I worked with a dude that said "hip" regularly. He also said "cat" and "dig it" and all that stuff. Of course, he was about 50 and played sax in a jazz combo on weekends so that was probably part of it.

maybe using an outdated term for coolness as the root word of "hipster" is apt, since peope use it to describe people who are cool in a way that is somehow also uncool.

Jazz guys say "hip" but not "hipster"Everyone else says "hipster" but not "hip"

"Hip" is a neologism and a poor one. The original and correct term is "hep". I use it exclusively, as should you.

Incorrect. First recorded use of "hip": 1904http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=hip

Per those links, I am going to start claiming that "hip" means "with it" because the body part "hip" comes from the Old English "hype," which is another word for something that is really cool.

Hurting, the site you linked to says of hip: "probably a variant of hep, with which it is identical in sense, though it is recorded four years earlier."
Not quite a strong case for jumping in with "incorrect".
― Aimless, Thursday, 15 January 2009 19:05 (seventeen years ago)
Besides, "hep" will amaze and amuse your friends, and confound your enemies. "Hip" is pallid in comparison.
― Aimless, Thursday, 15 January 2009 19:06 (seventeen years ago)
Not a strong case for your claim of "neologism" either. Also if you say either you will be thought a giant dork by all.
― ichard Thompson (Hurting 2), Thursday, 15 January 2009 19:08 (seventeen years ago)
A giant dork can be quite an imposing figure, looming above the more staid and conventional. It's the miniature dorks who get batted around.
