Catch you on the flip flop 

A phrase coined during the 1960s and 1970s trucker Citizen's Band (CB) culture. It literally means "I'll contact you on the return trip." If two long-haul truck drivers regularly make opposing trips, their path will eventually meet on each iteration of the trip. This term is virtually interchangeable with catch you on the flip side.
...we're gonna back on out of here. So, keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your tail. We'll catch you on the flip flop. This here's the Rubber Duck on the side. We gone. Bye bye.

catch you on the flip side 

Generally, "see you later."

The "flip side" is the reverse side of a vinyl record, a term often used by radio DJs. They might say "I'll catch you on the flip side" to mean they will let a particular album play through, and won't start talking again until they have to change or flip records.

"flip flop" is a variant used originally by truckers to mean a U-turn or the return trip, and may be used instead of "flip side."
Catch you on the flip side. I'm a little beat for my doss, so I gotta go float some zees.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
