What the heck does the acronym "PIP" stand for!!

I never call the bars on the fuel gauge pips, I call them bars. They are bars in a graph(ic).

 

I'll drink to that, pip-squeak!

 

Hey, not fair messing with quotes.

 

Sorry to give you the pip. I mean, what the h... You're four pips with me. I'll try to refrain as part of my Performance Improvement Plan. I hope I don't need personal injury protection.

 

You are a funny bugger Bill.

 

I thought Bills Pip was "Prius in Portland......."

 

From etymonline.com:

pip (1) "seed of an apple," 1797, shortened form of pipin "seed of a fleshy fruit" (c.1300), from O.Fr. pepin (13c.), probably from a root *pipp-, expressing smallness (cf. It. pippolo, Sp. pepita "seed, kernel").

pip (2) "disease of birds," c.1420, probably from M.Du. pippe "mucus," from W.Gmc. *pipit (cf. E.Fris. pip, M.H.G. pfipfiz, Ger. pips), an early borrowing from V.L. *pippita, from L. pituita "phlegm."

 

you know Scottie Pippen, he was real short, so we derived the name pip....:welcome::welcome::welcome:

 

The fuel gauge PIPs show the amount of Petrol In Prius.
