TOH

|'toe'| acronym, adj. (pl. ‘TOHs’)

Short for: True Original Hipster

One does not become a TOH, but merely is. Before hipsters turned into an identifiable group of similar appearance and taste, there were the TOHs. They wear big black rimmed glasses because of poor vision and those frames are the only ones actually able to hold the lenses in. They shop at Value Village simply because money is tight at times. They wear skinny jeans because less material equals lower prices. They listen to music you never heard of, because it was theirs & their friends and you would never want to listen to it. They have counter-political ideas, because they actually do not settle for the status-quo. They CAN enjoy sports, they CAN study science, and they CAN have jobs (sometimes).

“Oh Malcolm? He’s no ordinary hipster. He already shopped at Value Village when you still thought it was an actually village."
"He's a TOH..?"
"fascinating creature, right"
