flip flop
Toe-strap footwear
Flip-flop names things that alternate or reverse.
A flip-flop is a backless sandal held by a strap between the toes—named for the slapping sound it makes.
In electronics, a flip-flop is a circuit that switches between two stable states.
Most commonly, flip-flop describes a reversal of position or opinion: The senator's flip-flop on immigration cost him votes.
To flip-flop is to make such a reversal, often implying inconsistency or opportunism.
