"Drip". Synchronicity.

Fighting On Film, one of the podcasts I listed to, just dropped an episode on The Professionals.  Like all of their episodes, this one is well worth listening to.

In this episode, one of the hosts compliments Lee Marvin's "drip", and then going on to explain that "drip" is British slang for sharp and cool clothing. The phrase is used numerous times in the podcast, with it also noted that Marvin is "just dripping".

When I came home (I was listening to it while driving) I noted the phrase to my wife.

This morning 

Oddly enough, this morning new Alaska Congressman Mary Peltola used it in a tweet, showing herself in an outdoor photo wearing a purple native parka.  Her tweet stated:

Is this what the kids call… drip?

What are the odds?
