tip

Without context, the most likely definition is to give extra money to a waiter (usually) for good service. Also called a "gratuity" or a "service charge (if it is included in the check)".

Then I'd better say "to give a tip to sb.". I guess "to tip sb" maight mean "to topple over sb" or "overturn sb"?

I can see what you mean and it certainly conjures up some interesting mental pictures.

But 'tip' is commonly used in these situations 'Are you going to tip the waiter?' 'How much shall I tip the waitress?' and so on. I think most people would answer 'oh a couple of quid' rather than '45 degrees!'

As Nona has said to tip ( a little extra money ) someone like a waiter in a cafe for doing a good job.

To give 'someone' a tip can also mean:. to give someone (some) advice or a helpful hint about something - I can give you a tip about this stock or I've got some great tips about inexpensive places to stay in Paris.

But when it comes to a creepy guy, it would be like "180 degree", not "a coupla quid". hehe

Thank you all. I got it.
