think of a pncake
To flip an object is to rotate it through a half-revolution about an axis. (This is assuming you're working in three dimensions.) It's not a technical term, but somewhat flippant.

: There is more than one way to "to turn it the other way around". The important thing is to say which is meant.

I think some of the explanations here are pretty technical, perhaps too complicated for someone who has problems with the term 'flip', so I stick by my answer for this reason :)

This is a Microsoft Word menu selection. It basically allows you to get the mirror image of a picture by rotating it 180 degrees either horizontally or vertically. Try it:
- Find a Word document with a picture (asymmetric)

- Click on the picture to select
- In the new drawing tool bar select Drawing>"Rotate or Flip">"Rotate horizontally" and observe what happens
