"Clype" I know. "Flype" I don't. Could someone translate so I don't have to ask my friend in Edinburgh (who may not know either)?

'Flype', if I've got it right, means 'to turn inside out', often used of socks, apparently. Possibly obs. (I got it from George Macdonald Fraser).

Coo. That's a new one on me, anyway. I shall be sure to use it in future. (But not on Jon.)

Hmm. I've just looked it up in the concise Scots dictionary, and the secondary meaning is "tear off (the skin) in strips; peel", which is very Evil!Willow. But I won't do that to Jon, either. (Unless he kills my life partner accidentally and I decide to destroy the world.)-
