Uh yeah, maybe its a bit outdated of slang now, but ... 'you've got hops' is basically 'you can jump high'.
Hops is ... I guess just older, 90s/00s, Millenial slang for 'jumping ability/prowess/skill', something like that.
'Mad hops' meaning like... how you'd say 'she's got mad skills', its meant as a uh, positive compliment, its an adjective basically meaning 'impressive' or 'unbelievable'.
Interesting. I could extrapolate the meaning, but I'm a bit older than your description of "outdated" and have never heard it in that context before. Perhaps I was just too unpopular to hear it.
Yeah, there's a lot of fairly age specific lingo in all age brackets... and its possible the 'mad hops' phrasing also had a regional component that I just never noticed due to not travelling to many other parts of the US as a kid?
I had heard of it as a millennial-Z cusp child from the central midwest US. “Mad hops” was when we were really hamming up our props to each other, and “hops” just meant you could jump high, possibly making it look effortless.
I'm more mainline Millennial, possibly 'elder Millennial', grew up in the PNW, heard it in the same way that you did, though possibly more matter of factly and genuienly.
This was when people would call out 'Jordan!' (as in Michael Jordan) prior to attempting a 3 pointer, and then people would shout either 'Brick!' to mean they thought it would miss, or various other phrases to mean they'd think the shot was good.
No clue if this latter part was widespread, regional, or just some weird quirk of my hometown.
Indeed. We may waylay the plot not a day more. My fur grows damp and paws weary from waiting. What shall you spend your remunerations upon?
I’m not certain how much Mrs Jefferson earns, but perhaps something human like a mink coat or a peace lily. Let us reconvene upon transforming our earning.

If they're at all like cavies aka guinea pigs they are happy playing. The behavior is called popcorning in cavies.

Today I watched a YouTube video in which two people played a game, one person jumped, and the other said "whoa, you've got hops!"
At the time I took it literally, but now I see you saying the same thing and am forced to wonder: is that a thing? I ask sincerely, not with derision.
edit: Removed extra word.

TIL why Dean Winters says "brick" to a basketball player in a car insurance commercial.
