OK, I remember �pip � is a disease in poultry (in Dutch at least ;) so �liripip � would probably refer to the state in which a chicken finds itself when it confuses itself with a songbird due to an overdose of medication........ no? |

A special machine for making lollipops which are extremely colourful on the outside and have dark chocolate hidden inside, and they sense if you like them, so they don �t get spent, but grow back... Oh yes, and they �re completely healthy, non-fattening and good for your teeth... |

"Liri" comes from "lyrics" and "pip" from the word "pipe", so it �s a type of singing bird that knows the lyrics of a lot of pip ... um ... pop songs and pipes them all day long. |

okay, I agree with Silke: "Liri" comes from "lyrics" and "pip" from the word "pipe"
but I think that it �s a smoking pipe that instead of making you cough makes you a better singer!!!

Lire - French verb "to read"....
"pip" the seed inside a fruit like an orange...
So is it the art of divination using fruit seeds??
*cuts open a lime and sees " The Grim"" LOL

oh, yet another word of Greek origin.....  "Liri" which in Greek means a rooster �s comb (that red fleshy thingy on the rooster �s head!) + "pip" which is the now obsolete irregular past form of the verb "to pop" -> liripop = a very nasty chicken disease in which the rooster �s comb pops for no apparent reason!!!
Although I really liked Zora �s definition, too |

The colloquialism �gives youthe pip � = you find it a bit annoying.
Liri is from Lira /money
So liripip is what you feel when you open your wallet and discover there �s not as much money in there as you thought. |
