repping
SayREP-ing/ˈɹɛpɪŋ/
- 1Present participle and gerund of rep.
The rapper spent half the show repping his hometown, shouting out every block he grew up on.
By March he was repping 225 on the bench press without a spotter.
Note
Two clipped verbs share this spelling, and the p doubles in both. One is short for represent, so repping a city or a team means standing for it or showing it off; the other comes from reps in the gym, so repping 225 means lifting that weight for several repetitions. Both belong to casual talk; in formal writing, representing or lifting says the same thing.
