HI, abc
Bernnus is absolutely all right,
Oxford says: keep yourself to yourself | keep to yourself
to avoid meeting people socially or becoming involved in their affairs:
Nobody knows much about him; he keeps himself very much to himself.

If I were you, l would first look up a dictionary. I am telling you, it will be your best companion if you are interested to use English effectively and correctly.

To flip someone off is to make a rude gesture involving a certain finger....AKA "the bird", the "monodigital salute", "you're number one!". etc.

Och! ...what a couthy wee man Stan seems to be.

To flip also means to become a wee bit unbalanced.....like losing your cool.

I do know that you stick to your comments. and honestly, I too was sad to see that they were deleted, because I really wanted other ppl to know why I left you that link up there.
