France, French Hi, I'm just trying to understand what "hip" means here : At a studio recording session, the guitars players are tuning and then trying to fugure what to play, which make the session quitte messy. The drums player comments : "They really hard to play with." Then the narrator (a friend of them) answers "I'm hip". Any explanation ??? Thanks for your help

English - Ireland Oui, il a le même sens que "cool", mais j'ajoute que (au moins en Irlande, mais je crois que c'est le même partout) "hip" n'est plus dit par les jeunes, sauf que dans un contexte sarcastique ou péjorative: "Ugh, I hate my English teacher, he thinks he's so hip..." "Why are you doing that?!" "Cause I'm really hip, and all that..." Oh, et on ne dit pas "drums player", c'est "drummer" E

France, French Ok, thanks. But I still don't understand why the narrator would say "I'm hip" in this context...

Boston, MA, USA English-American "I'm hip" can also mean: I get it; I get you; I understand (as in "I'm hip to what's going on"). So the narrator might be saying to the drummer, "I'm hip," meaning something like "I'm seeing the same thing you're seeing; I understand exactly what you're saying." E

Hon, "hip", c'est "branché" dans le sens "cool", et non "BCBG", donc c'est plutôt les musiciens qui sont "hip", mais je suis totalement d'accord avec misterk, il s'agit tout simplement d'une façon de dire "c'est ok pour moi".
