Personally, I hate it. Now there is a "Serve the Sip" commercial. I'm looking forward to this term fading away.
What do you think of the 'sip?
- Thread starter Ranchdawg
- Start date
First time I ever heard the sip term it came from Lane Kiffin. Perhaps I just wasn’t aware but if it came out of Oxford it is already dead to me.
There are hundreds of terms I hate and that is just one of them
DS, this should be what you put on the SPS merchandise you’ve been working on. There is nothing the fellas on this board don’t hate.
If clothing size is any indication, nobody here hates food.
Been used for at least a couple of decades, long before Lane/OM started using it.
I like the term and use it all the time.
The Urban Dictionary entry for the 'Sip is dated 2005.
My uncle married a gal from GA. I remember in the 90s/early 2000s his GA grandkids talking about "coming to the 'Sip" to visit.

One of the dumbest things I’ve heard.

Me and my friends referred to where we were from as the 'sip, and we weren't the first ones to say it. That was over 20 years ago in Meridian.
I only recently heard of the term. I guess I'm out of the loop in the 'Meridian' crowd.
Problem is the correlation to Tea Sippers. Not a compliment if you are familiar with the longhorns
They just don't like having to write or say that many letters.
We did say 'Sip when I was younger, but we were talking about swimming down at Sipsey Creek.
Things change.
I think it’s some contrived bs. If you’re a native, you know good and well all you have to do is pronounce it naturally, like every other native of the state. Mis’ssippi. Anything else separates natives from contrived bs.
Sounds like something someone wearing a hoodie in 96' heat would say
Strange Brew was using it long before Lame-O.
Correct. Speak the f ing language. As far as square, well, I got receipts from 4 different lock ups in 3 different states.
I like it as it stands out outside MS. I get to say it and then explain the tradition of MS high school/college/pro studs!
I like the idea to keep it generic to MS to help all schools in the SIP!!
ETA: last comment related to creating our own slice of it just means more by focusing on our own State.

Its as dumb and hipster doofus sounding as the rez.
I'm going to usher in the 'ippy.
"Summer heat in the ippy is straight fire..."

Folks in and around Southaven have been calling that area "The Tip of the Sip" for many years.
What? In the 28 years I've lived here, no one has ever referred to the rez as anything but the rez, would you rather say Ross Barnett Reservoir?
Just call it the reservoir. and the people who have the rez on their tags are really douchy.What? In the 28 years I've lived here, no one has ever referred to the rez as anything but the rez, would you rather say Ross Barnett Reservoir?
I thought the rez was what the Indians called the area the government allotted them after stealing their land.
Interesting, my dad lived in Olive Branch and in all my years of visiting him I never heard anyone use that reference.
If you actually pronounce it Mis'ssippi, you are both an embarrassment to yourself as well as your state.
Well, if you live in Southaven and you run around town saying it then it is true. Ole "Tip of the 'Sip" Drebin.
Well, I’m sipping right now. Fantastic weather, and I’m really enjoying it. I’m a fan.
