Etymology
From flip + -ism, introduced in the Disney comic Flip Decision by Carl Barks, published in 1953.
Noun
flipism (uncountable)
- A pseudophilosophy under which all decisions are made at random, as if by flipping a coin.
- 1961, Harold J. Mahoney, Thelburn Laroy Engle, Points for decision, page 318:
- You flip three times, but maybe that is still placing too much responsibility on the penny. You decide to flip it a hundred times, five hundred, a thousand. You have become a victim of flipism, and you still haven't solved your conflict frustration.
