Dipping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article relates to flag display techniques. See Chewing tobacco for the practice of dipping tobacco.
To dip a flag that is being carried means to lower it by turning it forward from an upright position to 45° or horizontal. This is done as a sign of respect or deference.
Some jurisdictions have laws that prohibit the dipping of the national flag; these include the United States and South Africa.
