Les Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I am always delighted to learn and use new words. At least those words that are new to me. You would think that after 68yrs I would seldom see a new one! Hooped may be an exception. I really like the word and at least one of the urban slang meanings. My problem is I really don't know how I can effectively use it until I know the "common" meaning. When I saw Katen use it in a reply, I was nearly overcome with word envy and made a New Year's Resolution to review all my old Reader's Digest and refresh my vocabulary! Who else uses hooped, other than Katen and the guys from Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Lewis Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I plan on getting really hooped tonight at a NYE celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I heard my 16 year old son and one of his friends use it the other day. My son was talking about a boy on his school basketball team getting a shot blocked during a game... He said that he got "hooped" by that 6'8" guy. Apparently getting "Hooped" also involves a degree of embarrassment when you are a teenager.... Now that I think about it I think we used the same term in college after you had a bottle of vodka with a 7Up chaser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 It's slow to load in China, meaning the censors had to look it up before they'd clear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 generally I like words with multiple uses. Was it Burt Reynolds that was "Hooper?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 generally I like words with multiple uses. Was it Burt Reynolds that was "Hooper?" Dennis Weaver, I think, before googling. As I recall, when the tranny was hooped you ditched your beater in the toolies and started hoofin it. I remember getting pie-eyed but when I was hooped, I was SOL.

Eric B Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I am not familiar with "hooped." "Pooped" on the other hand is word I often identify with - I think it due to the aging process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 generally I like words with multiple uses. Was it Burt Reynolds that was "Hooper?" It was Burt Reynolds. Part of the movie was shot here in Tuscaloosa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 generally I like words with multiple uses. Was it Burt Reynolds that was "Hooper?" It was Burt Reynolds. Part of the movie was shot here in Tuscaloosa. Yeah, Dennis Weaver was "McCloud', totally different character. Same hat and moustache, same era.Me wrong. Dennis Weaver was Chester in Gunsmoke of course, but my favourite Weaver movie would be "Duel" where he is a traveling salesman and becomes a target of a semi-truck driver's road rage. Favorite Burt movie would have to be "Deliverance", although Jon Voight takes the lead in that one. After Burt takes the arrow thru the thigh. Ouch!
