When you ask someone who appears upset what's bothering them, but you
underestimated the gravity of their problem and it ends up being quite serious, and you're unprepared to deal with it so you offer a halfhearted
acknowledgement ("RIP") and leave
as soon as possible (dip)
John: Hey
Marley,
you good?
Marley: No...My parents are getting divorced
John: oh... uh, RIP *leaves*
-later-
Sam: So you
just left??
John: I didn't know how to react! I had to RIP n' dip !
