Do you say flipped off or flicked off?

Poll of the Day » Do you say flipped off or flicked off?
Which one do you say?


Flipped off is correct and I refuse to accept otherwise, but I think this is one of those things where so many dumbasses got it wrong that the wrong one also became acceptable, kind of like using "literally" for emphasis

Oddly enough, even though I hear "flicked off" a lot, I never hear people saying "flicking the bird". That one is always "flipping", which should tell you that it's clearly the right word, but I've seen so many people deny this

Oh you're talking about giving someone the finger? I was thinking about something-else completely but not unrelated.

careful, might get modded for using such a terrible word. the precious flowers around can't handle that kind of harsh language. it might pop their safe-space bubble.

Flipped off.

I can't recall ever hearing/seeing 'flicked off' used in the same context.

shut up
I think you can call people idiots as long as it's not directed at a specific user
got modded for saying "some ..... made a thread about (forget what)" zero names were used and the thread had been made a few days before.

i havent checked my current notification but since the message i posted using the word got deleted its the same thing. "i said i am done talking to an ....." (no name) then the rest of the sentence

Never heard flicked off in this context.

I'm 99.44% certain that you weren't modded for using the word idiot. Instead, I'm 99.44% certain that you were modded for specifically referring to an individual GameFAQs user by an insulting term, even though you didn't explicitly name said user.

i said "an i...." and it wasnt even directly after their post.

first time was even less direct because it reffered to a separate thread but not the title or person

Based on the fact that you were "done talking" to this person (implying that a conversation with this individual had taken place earlier in the topic), one could easily infer from context who the specific person you were insulting was.

first time was even less direct because it reffered to a separate thread but not the title or person

But you were still talking about a specific person, and that person's identity could be inferred from context. Anyone happening across that insult would only need to look for the mentioned topic or be the person who made the topic to know who you were talking about.

In fact, the post in question was probably marked by the exact person to whom you were obliquely referring.

I didn't even know this topic was still alive, it feels like I made it a week ago
Apparently someone here works for Adult Swim. They just posed this exact question.
