What Does This Mean?

[ SLANG ][ ENGLISH DAILY ]

Imageboard slang for a post whose numeric ID ends in three identical digits, such as 555, usually celebrated with a reply like "checked" or "trips confirm". It sits between "dubs" (two matching digits) and "quads" (four). It is unrelated to the poker term for three of a kind or to the plural of "trip".

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

""My post number ended in 777, so the replies were all "trips, checked" within a minute.""

LORE & ORIGIN

Know Your Meme's 4chan subculture page and Wikipedia's 4chan article describe the "GET" game of landing on a post number with special digits, and neither defines "trips" itself. Wiktionary's entry for "trips" lists only the poker and plural senses, so the imageboard sense rests on the community practice described by the neighbouring entries Dubs, Quads and Checked Digits. No dated first use is documented.
