Etymology
The word 'lippy' originated in British English in the late 19th century, derived from the adjective 'lip,' which refers to the edge of something or, in a more colloquial sense, the mouth. Initially, 'lippy' was used to describe someone who talked back or was disrespectful, often in a playful or teasing manner. Over time, the superlative form 'lippiest' emerged, signifying the most extreme or noteworthy instance of being cheeky or disrespectful. The evolution of the term reflects broader cultural attitudes towards humor and irreverence, illustrating how language adapts to social contexts where boldness and wit are celebrated.
