a) (slang) the detatchable flashing light used primarily by volunteer firemen and police
b) (Danish) the notches in the stem post of a longboat created by the friction caused by the painter used to secure the ship to a shore fixture
c) after blip: a brief static interruption on a radar screen
Later called a blipie by cameramen when the FCC made use of the blip to beep unapproved words from live television. A corruption of blipie was made popular by the TV comedy "Laugh In" in its lampoon of the FCC in calling the human arse a bippy. From a transcript of a 1972 Senate Hearing investigating Rowan and Martin the bippy is euphemmistically referred to as a blype.
d) an embellishing architectural ornament used to counterbalance a gargoyle
e) a disease of cattle. Symptoms are brittle hooves and horns
f) a spacer used in printing to separate two lines or characters which appear too close together
g) a small shred or roll of skin
h) the metal tube pounded into a sugar maple tree to collect sap
i) collective term for large amounts of sonar interference

g) a small shred or roll of skin
As one grows old(er), and these blypes begin to appear more often on the body, one could develop an intense fear or anxiety.
This is known as Blypephobia

Would that not give some of them away? Going with [i) as the least preposterous.

Oops! i goofed.
OK - definitions submitted by consuelo, themilum, AnnaStrophic, Faldage, Father Steve, musick, TEd and - sigh - one other whom I forgot to note, and who has now slipped the surly bonds of my memory. Please PM me with a reminder and a reprimand. Thank you. Plus, of course, the real one......

May I have B, please? I believe Thor Heyerdahl used the term in one of his later books.

Uh...sometimes themilum forgets what he has submitted.
But think a bit, Consuello, who should you believe? The Hogmistress? Or the man who didn't submit the definition?

Or, as Chico Marx so succinctly said to Margaret Dumont, when he was dressed up as Groucho, "Who you gonna believe, me or your own eyes?"
