You can use Flip! on its own as a euphemism for f*** or similar.

If we don't exhaust flip, we might flip out.

Now, that's what I call enlightening information. I didn't know that. It must be BrE. Is it? I can't say I've heard or said it. I might try it out the next time an opportunity presents itself, which I hope will not be very soon at all.

[Huda-M]

Which word now??

[PROESL]

Let's try the word "take".

How long does it take to get there?

Do you think they'll take us up on our offer?

I'll take out the trash.

If you don't know what it means, just ask.

[Huda-M]

Please explain take out the trash..... I only have a little idea what it may mean, but not sure

[Huda-M]

I have some:

take a break
take an exam
take the bull by the horns!

[Huda-M]

Take:
a seat
a taxi
someone's temperature (i don't know its meaning myself...)
a look
a chance
a risk
