DS was telling me about a couple of kids who "dipped" before practice was over. What? They bounced, you know, left early  This was a new word use for me, any others you've heard lately? |

Never heard dipped but I have heard bounced in that way.

I haven't heard dipped used that way. To me "let's bounce" just means let's leave, not necessarily leave early.

I haven't heard either of those words used in that context either. When I was a teenager the phrase we used for "cutting class" was "wagging". I'm not sure what word we would use for leaving early. Do you have POETS Day in the US? You know, Piss Off Early Tomorrow's Saturday???  |

I've never heard either of these expressions AussieMeg, but I checked the Urban Dictionary and they are both in there so I wonder if they are used in other parts of the US? |

AussieMeg, I've never heard of POETS Day on the East Coast.

Yes. My granddaughter and her friends and my nephews use "dip/ped" but no longer use "bounce".

I've heard bounce since I was a teen the 80's. I've heard people say they tipped out the door, meaning they left somewhere (not sure if they tip toed, or leaned so far over they fell out of the door  ), but I've never heard dip in reference to leaving somewhere. ETA: I would put "Let's motor" in this category. |

My youngest is 21, and I haven't heard "dip" in that context. But then, none of mine have ever said "bounce" in that context, either. I think it sounds really stupid and don't know anyone who talks like that in real life.

Another one who's not heard either expression. When I was growing up the expression "she knocked off" as in "she knocked off school early" was used a lot.

I have not heard dip used this way, but according to an online slang dictionary, one of the uses of dip is as a verb.
verb
to leave.
I'm going to go dip. Wanna come?
That crazy bastard David was dipping in the movie theater!
this definition is dated 1997.

To me it means using chewing tobacco. When I first read the OP, I assumed she was talking about baseball practice! Shows how old I am.  That is one slang term I'll never pick up. |

I have definitely bounced from events but I have never dipped. Dip is stupid because it doesn't make any sense. Bounce makes perfect sense, dip definitely does not.

I also would think it was chewing tobacco reference.

I am old and hang out with old people. For my stodgy group, dip is what you eat while sitting around drinking adult beverages and complaining about the young people who appropriate our words and turn them into something unrecognizable.  |

I've never heard either word in regard to leaving early. If I was told kids "dipped" at practice I would think it involved tobacco.
But it's Friday, so in honor of my new word, can I dip out early?

Yep - dip=chew here.
Funny how things have different meanings in different parts of the country/world. I am always taken aback when I hear "fag" used by the Brits!

I haven't heard "dip" yet in that context.
I've heard head out, bounce out, skip out, scoot out, hop out, etc.
I haven't heard of POETS, either.

I'm with those who think dipping is something disgusting done with chewing tobacco, but I have heard my students saying, "let's bounce" and understood that they meant "leave."

The teens are all using the term dip/ped here. I only really recall hearing it used at the beginning of summer and was confused at first. Where on earth do these terms some from but then again, we could go back to our days of youth and question some of the phrases we used to  |

I've heard both, but not for some time (maybe college? I graduated college in 1997). I've never heard someone "knock off" in regards to skipping school, though.

Around here if you "dip" it means you use chewing tobacco <gross>.

That is one slang term I'll never pick up.
