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.

Southeast actually. Thanks for the definition.
