解答
意味：英辞郎によると、
マイク・ドロップ◆スピーチやトークを終えた人がわざとマイクを床に落とす行為。と直訳しかありませんが、同じ意味のdrop the micの訳は、
〔手に持った〕マイクを落とす◆スピーチやトークを終えた人が、その出来が最高に良かったので、もはや誰もマイクを取って話をする必要がないという意味で、わざとマイクを床に落とすこと。今では、この注釈が比喩的な意味になります。
Answer
According to Merriam-Webster:A mic drop is an emphatic and declarative gesture signifying the conclusion of a performance of note, often literally (or as if) dropping a microphone.
語源
下記英語の説明Merriam-Websterによると、Mic dropは、もともとヒップホップ歌手（だけとは限りませんが）がパフォーマンスや歌の後にマイクをわざと落としたところから来ています。最初は、文字通りマイクを落とましたが、今では比喩的意味になったことにより実際にマイクを落とすことが少なくなりました。
Etymology
According to Merriam-Webster:Mic drop comes from the practice, initially (but not exclusively) among hip-hop artists, of finishing a performance or song by dropping the microphone. While the term was once employed in starkly literal fashion, it appears to have taken on sufficiently figurative status that actual microphones need not necessarily hit the floor.
Examples
- In an emotional speech, she thanked her fans and finished with a mic drop.
- Her insulting response was the ultimate metaphorical mic drop.
- In stand-up comedy and hip-hop, the mic drop has been around for about three decades.
- Frank Lloyd Wright submitting his design for the Guggenheim at eighty-four is the ultimate mic drop. —CBS News, 6 June 2024
- At a December 2015 Kennedy Center Honors event, Franklin left her seat at the piano during a performance of "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" for Carole King. Then she dramatically dropped her fur coat to the stage floor, achieving a wow factor much greater than a mic drop. — Julie Hinds, USA Today, 17 Aug. 2018
