trip noun 1 a hallucinatory drug experience. Uncertainty surrounds
the first slang usage of the term. US slang lexicographer Peter
Tamony argued in American Speech (Summer 1981) that the term
was first used in a slang sense by Jack Gelber in The Connection,a
1957 play dealing with heroin addicts. Tamony privately conceded
that the usage was not ‘a smoking gun’, and in retrospect it
appears more figurative than slang. The Oxford English Dictionary
points to Norman Mailer’s 1959 Advertisements for Myself,in
which Mailer wrote of taking mescaline and of ‘a long and private
trip’, but there is no evidence that Mailer’s use reflected a
colloquial understanding and was not simply literary metaphor.
Similarly, in a 1963 article about LSD in Playboy, Allan Harrington
used the term ‘trip’, but again the context suggests metaphor, not
slang. The slang sense of the word is indelibly associated with Ken
Kesey and his LSD-taking Merry Pranksters. In 1964, Ken Kesey
bought a soon-to-be-famous International Harvester school bus in
the name of Intrepid Trips, Inc., suggesting an already current, if
private, slang sense. In September 1999, Kesey wrote about his
recollection of the first use of the term: ‘I think it came from our
bus trip in 1964, when Cassady said “This trip is a trip”’
US, 1966.
2 any profound experience US, 1966 . 3 a state of mind. Used in an
