to tip one's flipper 是什么意思？ 见 民歌辛南朵阿, 我想它是tip one's hand 的异体。

同意。FLIPPER可不就相当于鱼的手呗。此话听起来很俏皮，不知是否与上下文的文风相称。学生没读过什么书，没听说过您提到的诗歌。

I think he meant the American folk song "Shenandoah."

Thanks to "Guess". I looked the song up on the web and found the lyrics (attached below).
In the song, a boat captain supposedly "winked his eyes and tipped his flippers". Here
obviously, he raised his hand and touched the front-flip of his cap. Thus, "tipped his flippers."
As all the big flirts this side of the pond know, this "move" is usually done in the presense
of a lady.
here are the lyrics:
SHENANDOAH
arranged and adapted by Arlo Guthrie
The Missouri, she's a might river
Away you rolling river
The red man's camp lies on her borders
Away, we're bound away across the wide
Missouri
A white man loved an Indian maiden
Away you rolling river
With notions sweet his canoe was laden
Away, we're bound away across the wide
Missouri
O Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away you rolling river
I'll take her 'cross the rolling water
Away, we're bound away across the wide
Missouri
The chief disdained the trader's dollars
Away you rolling river
My daughter never you shall follow
Away, we're bound away across the wide
Missouri
At last there came a Yankee skipper
Away you rolling river
He winked his eye, and he tipped his flipper
Away, we're bound away across the wide
Missouri
He sold the chief that fire-water
Away you rolling river
And 'cross the river he stole his daughter
Away, we're bound away across the wide
Missouri
O Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away you rolling river
Across the wide and rolling water
Away, we're bound away across the wide
Missouri

Sorry about the typo in the post above. "Tipped his flippers" should be "tipped his flipper." My bad again.
