flipper
Whale's swimming limb
A flipper is a broad, flat limb adapted for swimming—the appendages of seals, sea turtles, penguins, and whales.
Rubber flippers worn by divers mimic this shape to improve propulsion.
In pinball, flippers are the paddle-like levers players use to keep the ball in play.
Informally, a flipper is someone who buys property to renovate and quickly resell for profit: House flippers drove up prices in the neighborhood.
