Title: "Pip pip"
Post by: Grandy on October 24, 2008, 12:25:46 AM

 Just what does it means, anyway? I use it a lot to make fun of british people (no offense intended, well, yeah, you know what I mean) But I never found what it meant. Yes, I did JFGI, but found nothing really explanatory.

It's apparently a British version of 'farewell'.
