  1. tip

    To tilt or tip is to throw out of a horizontal position by raising one side or end or lowering the other; the words are closely similar, but tilt suggests more of fluctuation or instability. Slant and slope are said of things somewhat fixed or permanent in a position out of the horizontal or perpendicular; the roof slants, the hill slopes. Incline is a more formal word for tip, and also for slant or slope. To cant is to set slantingly; in many cases tip and cant might be interchanged, but tip is more temporary, often momentary; one tips a pail so that the water flows over the edge; a mechanic cants a table by making or setting one side higher than the other. A vessel careens in the wind; lists, usually, from shifting of cargo, from water in the hold, etc. Careening is always toward one side or the other; listing may be forward or astern as well. To heel over is the same as to careen, and must be distinguished from "keel over," which is to capsize.

    Synonyms:
    cant, careen, dip, heel over, incline, lean, list, slant, slope, tilt

How to use tip in a sentence?

  1. Matt Martini:

    When the time came to pay Eric Smith check, Lambert came into my office with tears in Mariana Lambert eyes and shaking, stating a customer was leaving her a $ 3,000 tip on Eric Smith $ 13.25 bill.

  2. Caon City principal Bret Meuli:

    A tip led to a couple more names, an interview led to a couple more. At one point it was,' Well, everybody is doing this, ’ of course, we didn't believe them up front and the more we looked, the more we said,' You know, hey, we have to turn this over to the PD. This is deeper than us. ’ The school’s investigation revealed students were sharing explicit photos of each other and storing them on hidden photo vault apps, disguised as other applications.

  3. Max Schachter:

    I think the recent charges are just the tip of the iceberg.

  4. Eleni Linos:

    As technology becomes more sophisticated and people start to use their phones interactively for an increasing number of daily tasks, it would not be surprising if they also increasingly turned to electronic devices for help with personal, health and safety issues, the phone user needs to retain the power to choose what happens. Every domestic violence and sexual assault situation is different, and the phone won't know if the abuser suddenly re-enters the room, grabs the phone, or starts listening in. It's tempting to say that the phone should automatically dial 911, but that could lead to an increase in the number of accidental calls, limit emergency services' capacity to respond to actual urgent calls, and worst of all might tip off the perpetrator that his or her victim is trying to get help.

  5. Nathaniel Arnold:

    Most California citizens who reside in Joshua Trees habitat revere these iconic desert species, more so now than ever because of its degraded population status, we're pleased to see the citizen tip led to a successful disposition and we hope it serves as a deterrent to others who may think it is acceptable to unlawfully remove Joshua Trees to make way for development.
