First recorded in 1870–75; lip + -y ¹

On reaching the village, Zeppa went straight to his hut with Lippy on his shoulder.

He then held the glass to the mistress, and she made it a lippy.

The savage warriors pursued, and several were taken, among them Lippy and her mother, who were promptly despatched to the rear.

Her name was Lippy, or some sound which that combination of letters produces.

“Yes, it will be pleasant to have Lippy running out and in again,” said Zeppa.
