<flapped> a. to beat with or as if with a flap b. to toss sharply : fling c. to move or cause to move in flap
When something was extra delicious, my father would say “that’s the best something or other I ever flapped a lip over.”
This flapping of a single lip over something (tacos come to mind) is the funniest, creepiest and weirdly visual thing I’ve ever heard. I can’t help but nearly hear the flapping of a lip laid down upon a food item. As I look at the phrase I feel a funny, slightly embarrassed twinge and then I can’t help but succumb to laughter.
What a strange thing to say. I haven’t been able to find anything about the origination of the phrase thus far but I’ll keep hunting.
