 Jack is a flop in again----

?a?s?

Thought it could be rasse if a jack is a male civet but can't verify this.

A black pip--

?p?d?   

Looks like spade but seems a bit vague

Thanks for any help

The card suit = spades. They're called 'pips'

I Think Spade is Correct PIP as on playing cards.

Only thing i can come up with for no1 is Tarsi. Tar as in Jack Tar ie  Sailor . But i don't know how it fits.

The other one is RAISE. To jack a car is to raise it, IS A flop is an anagram of AIS in again which is RE R(AIS)E.

I thought Tarsi the same way ..its what supports the FLAP of your eyelids Should it have read Flap and not Flop

Well Done Biley.that was going my head in

Thanks for all the help. I think you are right biley with RAISE. Looks like spade is correct as it has been pointed out they are called pips on playing cards.

Definitely RAISE
