benevolent flipping

Flipping property in a neighborhood not merely for the purpose of profit, but with a priority of improving the neighborhood.

One who does this would be a "benevolent flipper."

Some slumlord offered John $20k for his house, but he sold it to the city for $17k so it would be a rainwater garden instead of yet another North Minneapolis crack house. It's called "benevolent flipping."

Source: This phrase was used by a guy interviewed on NPR, All Things Considered, in early August, 2008, to describe what he does.

Manatee Flipping

Verb- refers to the act of taking MDMA (ecstasy) and a strong narcotic (such as Oxycontin) simultaneously, producing a gentle, very carefree state of mind, not unlike a manatee drifting about the Florida Keys (before getting crushed by a speedboat full of bitches).

Carlos: "Hullo Xavier. Have you seen Pascual? He seems to be very slow."

Xavier: "Indeed. He's manatee flipping really hard."

Carlos: "We should engage in that soon."

Subject Flipping

The art of changing subjects. The subject can be flipped either to improve the quality of the conversation or to avoid a dangerous subject. The ability to subject flip can be improved via the use of google. It is easier to subject flip with a guy than a girl as females tend to be listening more closely to the conversation.

M: I love my car :D It can reach 0-60 in 3 seconds.
S: omg did you see that awsome new movie yet ;).
M: stop subject flipping my new car is awsome.

Meta-flirting

Flirting with someone while explaining to them how you are making your moves, in a way that results in an self-ironic sense of humor and charm, and talks about the elephant in the room to avoid awkwardness.

Dude, Jim just told that girl how he was going to use his moves on her, he is totally meta-flirting.

second-hand flirting

Using a friend (preferably the same gender) of someone you're interested in to get the information you want, i.e. sexual orientation, relationship status, social media.

I want to know if Jessica is seeing someone. How do I find out without being awkward or putting her on the spot if she is?

Try second-hand flirting bro. Ask her best friend Mackenzie; she'll know.
