Hi, all!!
Could you help me figure out what the word trippy in the script below means?
Dictionaries were no help, unfotunately. >> Slang of, relating to, or suggestive of a trip induced by a psychedelic drug trippy synthesizer music
Dharma: Hey, Greg, what do you think we would have done If we hadn't run off and gotten married?
Greg: I don't know. Had a second date?
Dharma: Well, you know what? I'm glad we went for it Because now every moment with you Is like waah! Surprise.
Greg: I know what you mean. Are we gonna sleep up here every night?
Dharma: Don't be silly. Only when it's a full moon.
Greg: Ah! The full moon, of course. You don't turn into anything unpleasant, do you?
Dharma: What? Is that supposed to be a joke?
Greg: Yeah.
Dharma: Well, it's not funny. Wouldn't it be trippy if I was really like that?
Greg: Yeah. Extremely trippy.
Dharma; Unh! Ooh!
Dharma: We should have a party to celebrate getting married.
Greg: Dharma, we can never tell anyone about this marriage, ever.
Dharma: What?
Greg: Wouldn't it be trippy if I was really like that?
Dharma: That's not funny
Dharma: Got you again. God, you suck at this game. So what do you think? We could have a party right up here. We could have a band, and we could have a couple of kegs. We could invite our parents, And they could meet each other. Wouldn't that be great?
Greg: Ha ha ha! You're still playing the game, aren't you?
Dharma: No. I'm serious. It'd be fun. Ask your folks.
Greg: I really don't think it's a good idea.
Dharma: Would ya at least think about it?
Greg: I'll think about it.

I used to love that show. That must have been the first episode - never got to see that one. It would feel the way it feels when one is using illegal drugs and having a "drug trip" (halluscinations).

I'm not familiar with the show, so I assume GG's right.
But I knew people in the 60's who used the expression who were not into the drug scene. (Also knew a few who were.) It seemed at the time that "a trip" (and "trippy") meant something very fun and exciting and unusual - possibly extreme - but not necessarily illusory. That is, it might challenge the senses, but not necessa

I love that show, too. I especially LOVE the boy's mother, she's SO funny so helarious.
The show's name is Dharma & Greg.
So, thanks, Grammar Geek and Avangi, apperciate your quick response.

Sorry, don't watch those above! I mixed up episode no 18 with no 17.
I wanted to surprise you, it's no 18 you're looking for. I ruined the surprise~
