An offensive insult, usually aimed at a girl or young woman, implying that she is promiscuous or posts revealing content.
“People used the word bop in the comments, but others called out the insult.”
Bop is generally used as a derogatory label for someone believed to have many romantic or sexual partners or to present themself immodestly online. It is commonly directed at girls and young women and may be a form of harassment or cyberbullying.
Bop already had several unrelated meanings, including a catchy song. In more recent youth slang, it developed a separate offensive sense for a person considered promiscuous. The newer meaning often appears in phrases such as school bop or lala bop.
