flip side

Originally, the other, not-usually-played side of a 78-rpm phonograph record. From way back in the day, whenever it was that two-sided phonograph records became popular.
Let's hear the flip side of that record.

As '50's slang: You turn my record over, baby. Like, on the *flip* side. (See "flip out" = "go crazyover, freak out over, be turned on by someone or something.")

flip side of the same coin

Is where in essence either which way you go you are achieving essentially the same ends.
For example a sales man giving you the choice of buying a red car or the blue car. It doesn't matter which car you buy because either way you are buying the car.

Also creating two different sides that will achieve the same end result of dividing people up which relates to the divide and conquer military strategy.

Marketing focuses on convincing people to buy a product when sales focuses on the best way to sell the product, and so they are essentially work towards the same ends. They are the flip side of the same coin.

Also look up the illusion of choice and good cop bad cop.. Bottom line is think outside the box!

Catch you on the flip side

In the early stages of spaceflight, NASA developed a technique that saved much needed fuel to return space craft back to Earth by using the moon’s orbit like a slingshot. Astronauts in space and ground control would lose radio signal once the space craft makes its way to the “back-side” of the moon and away from line of sight with Earth. They would of course regain radio signal when they reach the other side of the moon (the “flip side”). It was customary for Ground Control to say “Catch you on the flip side” before they would lose radio signal.
The none-space working-class community adapted the phrase as a “good-bye” or “see you later.”
(I’m about to lose contact with you. Time will pass. I’ve re-established contact.)
With that being said: “I’ll catch you on the flip side!”

Flip-Side

The dark places where douchebags, posers, rejects, thieves, and other horrible people reside. It is known as a Flip-Side because it is the opposite of our reality of relatively decent people.

"Oh, that's the Flip-Side, where the weird-o's go."
"Oh. Okay."
