flippery

A house that has obviously been bought, renovated, and is now being flipped. The obvious sign of a flip house is the myriad architectural elements that have been tacked on to give it character. An example: A 1950's brick ranch house. It will have a non-matching addition added onto the back. It will be painted "buff" or other neutral color to appeal to yuppies. They will tack on some cedar-shake siding so it has a Cape Cod look, and then some copper flashing so it has some Loire Valley feel, then some river-stone stonework around the foundation for that New England country feel, a couple of bogus columns that supposedly support the front stoop for that Old South look, and for the finale, a redwood pergola placed on the front of the house for that Pacific Northwest feel. Very, very tacky...and soooo very obvious.
Muffy: Oh Skip, what a charming neighborhood. All this old-time charm. I just love this cute, authentic mill village. How artsy!

Skip: Oh Muffy, you're so right! These quaint old neighborhoods are so rare nowadays. I love it!

Muffy: Oh no, Skip. What is that God-awful monstrosity??? Did it fall to earth from some other planet? It's twice the size of these other houses and it's taking up the whole damn yard. Gross. It's ruining the neighborhood.

Skip: Yeah...it's totally flippery. Let's go buy a condo instead.

French Flipper Trick

Similar to the Shocker but with three in the vagina and one in the asshole. The fingers in the vagina are wiggled in a waving motion similar to a penguin flapping it's flippers.

The funniest joke in the world so lethal, one will die from reading it. Known to be effective at a range of 50 yards and can cause fatalities from reading even two words together.

For the safety of English speakers, the German translation (the only available translation) is posted.
