Etymology
The word 'lipping' is derived from the noun 'lip', which has Old English origins. The Old English term 'lippa' meant 'the edge or rim of something', which transitioned into the concept of creating or shaping that edge. In the context of mimicking or pretending to sing, it likely evolved in the late 20th century with the rise of music videos and playback performances, where artists would often mime to pre-recorded tracks. Over time, the verb form 'to lip' became colloquially accepted, particularly in the entertainment industry, influencing how it's understood today in various social contexts. Its usage has expanded with the internet and popular culture, further embedding it in everyday language.
