Untitled[edit]

Actually it's used quite often and I hear it alot as I am often mistaken for a Japaness person. I'm not sure why the exception here highlighting Neal Stephenson.

>Nip, a derogatory term for a Japanese person. It is derived from "Nippon", the Japanese term for Japan. Usage in this context probably peaked around the time of World War II. >It is seldom used today, with the exception of Neal Stephenson using the term in several of his works

I definitely agree, I hear it a lot as well, this should be changed.... Nouseforaname312 04:08, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Playing nip[edit]

Is there any justification for this entry:

<<

Playing "nip" is a slang term commonly used in the northern Virginia area and generally refers to flirtation amongst two young people. Example: Sean, rather than working, spent his afternoons playing nip with the girl at the Starbucks counter.

Unless there's a published cite for this, I'd say it's yet another example of high-school tagging (a form of vandalism), which should be deleted. Cbdorsett 11:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
