Talk:flip one's lid

Flipping the lid

This term is also applied to the round covers of older carbureted engine intakes. You could 'flip the lid' and the intake would pass more air causing the engine to run hotter and intake unfiltered air. Blown heads and gaskets could occur. A person 'flipping their lid' is seen to be running hot or exploding as the engine would be. 71.59.220.30 07:12, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Rfv-sense: To be very scared. Added by an IP, but I'm not sure if I've heard this sense, plus it's not in other dictionaries. Could be regional. lattermint (talk) 22:44, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
