Hooper is American slang for a basketball player, especially a skilled one. Not concerning, just sports vocabulary. If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in. Most slang of this kind moves through TikTok and group chats, so seeing it in your child's vocabulary just means they are plugged into normal teen internet culture.
Hooper is American English slang for a basketball player, especially a passionate or skilled one. Use in casual sports contexts. Formal equivalent: "basketball player." Common non-native mistake: confusing with the standard sense of hooper (a barrel maker, archaic). In modern slang, hooper exclusively refers to basketball. Read or listen to the word in context several times before trying it yourself; the right register is harder to learn than the dictionary meaning.
