hip
Adjective[C/U] Both
pl: hips
This word operates in two entirely separate cognitive spheres. In an anatomical sense, it evokes a physical pivot point and the widest part of the human frame, often associated with balance and movement. It carries a neutral, descriptive tone used in medical or physical contexts.
Countable when referring to the anatomical joints on the body. Uncountable when describing a general state of being fashionable.
