Should I say flip, switch or flick the switch?

flip versus flick wikidiff

As nouns the difference between flip and flick is that flip is a maneuver which rotates an object end over end or flip can be a mixture of beer, spirit, etc, stirred and heated by a hot iron (a flip dog ) while flick is a short, quick movement, especially a brush, sweep, or flip. As verbs the difference between flip and flick is that flip is to throw (as in to turn over) while flick is to move or hit (something) with a short, quick motion.

My sense would be to flick a switch. Flip a switch would be second. I would avoid switch x two in a sentence.

The first 2 are completely valid

I have flipped the switch from A to B

I have flicked the switch from A to B

but

I have switched the switch from A to B

wouldn't be said just say it out loud and you will find out why. You would instead say

I have switched the telly off

or

I have switched the heating to high

In my experience, "flipped" is the most normal of the first two. However, "flicked" is fine if you're wanting to add a sense of speed and/or carelessness to the movement.

In the last example, you could simply say "I switched it from A to B," and that would get rid of any redundancy.
