Anatomically, this term refers to the critical hinge point of the human body, evoking a sense of stability and structural support. It is often associated with posture and the physical center of gravity. In a social sense, the adjective form describes an aura of effortless modernity. It suggests a level of cultural awareness that is perceived as sophisticated or "in the know," often used to describe people, places, or styles that are trendy but maintain a certain edge of coolness.
Countable when referring to the specific anatomical joints on the body (two hips). Uncountable when referring to the general area of the pelvis or the fashion sense of a person.
