Anonymous  +  371891 Tue, 29 May 07 05:52 AM Hi, I am trying to remember two words. One means "to jump when a woman is putting on pentyhose." The other is a bit trickier as I don't remember its exact meaning, but I do remember the second part of the word, and possibly the first. The second part of the word is "***," the first part is something like flip, but I am not sure that's it. Are there any other words that sound similar to "flip ***?" Thanks a lot for your help! - In Need of a Word Anonymous

Meanwhile, I agree that I would certainly jump if I got up from this chair, turned around and saw a woman putting on her pantyhose.  The other is a bit trickier as I don't remember its exact meaning, but I do remember the second part of the word, and possibly the first. The second part of the word is "***," the first part is something like flip, but I am not sure that's it. Are there any other words that sound similar to "flip ***?" It depends on what the asterisks signify. Something shocking, no doubt! 'To flip someone the bird ' means, I think, to make an obscene gesture with one finger.

Now, the way you jump when your garter snaps up and it feels like someone shot a rubber band at you? That's called "jumping because you've been snapped by a garter and it feels like someone shot a rubber band at you."
