Jul 16, 2021 · In the book, a young woman has returned to her home in Ireland. The words quoted are spoken by her female relatives, who are either elderly or middle-aged (I haven't read enough to determine which). The Irish setting helps. I would read the "be" in "Be the flip" as a form of "by"; and the whole phrase, is I'd say, a minced oath - an inoffensive ...

Jul 7, 2011 · Jul 7, 2011. #2. My understanding is that "to flip" on someone (or some organization in this case) is to be disloyal, e.g. to "change sides."

They want him to change his attitude from being loyal to Tanaka to recognizing how bad he is, and they want Carlos to co-operate with them so that he can be ...

I'd would appreciate someone's telling me whether all these three options mean the very same thing as turn around. For instance: I turned round to face my fears → I turned over to face my fear, I ...
