What is a "tip"?

Travis in Shoreline (just North of Seattle) Washington


Since I'm just a bit south of you, in Bellevue, Washington, I'll be your
translator. A "tip" is a place where you'd tip your rubbish, or in our
tongue, dump your garbage. Imagine a dump truck tipping its load on to a
heap, and you've got the origin of the word; "dump" is an equivalent in
American English.
