Meaning of "flippers" #1 (permalink) Wed Sep 16, 2009 9:43 am   Meaning of "flippers"
 

Can you help me to explain the meaning of "flippers" in this context:
"He is waddling onto the shore in his flippers."
Do they are his hands?

Thank you.

Hi,

He is wearing flippers on his feet. They would be used to propel you faster under water.
