I'd actually like to know the answer to that as well?

I always thought the term 'Philip' sounded acceptable enough. I guess not

I mean with Pakistanis, they got bad abuse with the term P*** so unless the association with the term Philip is a sour one then i don't get it

Flip does sound a lil bit derogatory though. Especially with the possible connotations
