whippy
n.— «The whippies, as the insurance industry calls whiplash claimants, account for this huge increase in BI claims. For the purpose of insurance statistics, whiplash is recorded as “sprains and strains,” ans since these sprains and strains nearly all involve the neck and the back, it is reasonable to equate them with whiplash.» —by Andrew Malleson Whiplash and Other Useful Illnesses April, 2002.
