* Creator/DavPond mentions it a lot in his poetry.
** The most famous example from ''There She Was'':
--> ''There she was.
Flipping her hair as she flipped herself across the stage.
I was neptunic.
With every flip, my neptunicity skyrocketed to newer heights.
There she was.''
(Bonus points for a Music/OneDirection reference later on).
** From ''[[Literature/WhyCantThePerfectGirlExistIn2022OrAComplaintToMyInnerLight Why Can't The Perfect Girl Exist In 2022???]]'': ''And there was a perfect girl for me.
With flippy flowing brown hair.
Who literally flipped her hair for a living.
Who practically pinvented professional hair flipping.
Who pretty much changed the world with the way she flipped her hair.''
** From ''DILWID'', ''I wish that I could watch her hair flip down.''
** From ''Pepsi'', [[https://allpoetry.com/poem/16693956-Pepsi-by-Dav-Pond which - the whole poem - is just a metaphor for Pond's love interest's hair]], ''Her flippy, wavy, shoulder-length hair was the colour of Pepsi.
She would let it flip behind her, perfectly.''
** From ''The Next Keith Moon'',
''The perfect girl of my dreams was never trained how to flip her hair.''
