Well that's what I call it (UK), I do remember a drunken conversation (in Belgium of all places!) where it was referred to as surfing maybe it's the EU standard then...

'Jargon', isn't that what they do in Norfolk to keep fit?

How do truckers use that?

Hang a right at a junction...

Meh. I know you can do better.

How do surfers (beach bums) use that?
|
|
|

I may check that from home. Until then I need to try jacking into the HR system here.

Gas.
Computer Scientist: Damn, that burrito I had at lunch sure gave me gas.
Surfer: Like, riding that gnarly wave was a gas, dude.
Trucker: My truck is out of gas, good buddy.

There are some good alternative answers. The term I was looking for is "flip-flop".
|

Nice, had to google how a trucker uses that term. Now my mind can take a break from curiousity.

You can add politicians to that list.

Having been a surfer, a trucker, and now a computer scientist, I do have the definitive answer:
SH*T!!
For the surfer, when another (idiot/stupid) surfer slams or cuts them off.
For the trucker, well, it's just part of the defacto lingo.
For the CompSci, when they realize they don't have a valid backup of their data.
For your choice of word, that being "flip-flop," had you also included "politician," [ ] then *everyone* would have easily and readily guessed it!

I didn't think of politicians in time.

I dunno, when I think of politician i think of (your definitive word) "Sh*t", "criminal", "liar", then "flip flop".

Why is it when I am doing a VAT return my MD and my FD descend upon me in a state of urgency about getting a budget for a new site out.
Flap flap flap...
I am online with the HMRC trying to pump in numbers and miss the pennies off a return.
It doesn't sound much, but when I run the report it does not come back to zero, there is 81p o/s.
This means the TB and the Balance Sheet Report have two extra lines which annoys me as it now looks ugly.
And I have to remember to reverse the balance next month.
I wish people would just FRO on a Friday.

Pfft, have you looked at a mirror lately?
Actually I meant to make a comment about truth==beauty, but my evil side intervened.
No I didn't!

I think you missed a "b" there...
