what does the phrase "...until the pips squeak." mean?-- The_stuart 02:52, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
A 'pipsqueak' is a moderately insulting term for something or someone insignificant or otherwise diminuitive, and possibly noisy. I don't know about your expression. Atchius 23:53, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
What about in the military? I read an article today about RPA soldiers ripping off their pips and moving into Rwanda before the Genocide. Ang'ila 81.199.118.173 06:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
It seems there are other definitions for "pips", including 1/100ths of a percent (see Retail forex), Pakistan International Public School (capitalization difference: see PIPS), three male R&B/soul background singers (see Gladys Knight & the Pips), a "broadcast timecode" called "BBC Pips (see Greenwich Time Signal), a data burst (see Squidgygate), and... something on a racket? (see Hardbat). Maybe a disambiguation is in effect. Is it silly for me to get so concerned over such an insignificant article? It's the first article I've ever created, so I feel some kind of emotional connection. Atchius 19:56, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
The remaining ten cards are called pip cards and are numbered from one to ten.
"One" refers to the ace. But in most card games, the ace's numerical value is 14, not 1. And it cannot be called the "first card" because the two is the first card and the ace (14) is the last card. Please fix this. Georgia guy ( talk) 02:33, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
