"kippage" means: A fit of temper; rage.. This is a fairly neutral word with no inherent risk attached. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than something dangerous. If your child uses it, context will usually make the meaning clear. A brief, curious question about where they heard it is generally enough to know whether to follow up.
"kippage" means: A fit of temper; rage.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. Note the regional or dialect label (obsolete) — usage may sound odd outside that variety. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

A dated British slang term for a brothel, drawing on 'kip' in its older sense of a cheap lodging house or bed. The term has largely fallen out of use, surviving mainly in historical accounts of Victorian and Edwardian low life. Its euphemistic framing -- presenting a brothel as merely a place to sleep -- was typical of the evasive slang of the era.
- kip-shop57%
Old-fashioned slang for a brothel, used in Britain from the 19th and early 20th centuries. 'Kip' had its own layered slang history — meaning a sleep, a cheap lodging house, or a bed — and a kip-shop was where you paid for more than just a roof over your head. The term is dated enough to be colourful without being offensive, showing up in historical crime fiction and period dramas.
