Can "pip" mean picture or icon in British English?
I am playing a British game and I'm having trouble exactly understanding some of the words used in the dialogs!
from "godus" game
They seem to use the word "pip" to mean "graphic" or "icon", but I want to know if "pip" can be synonymous with "image" or "icon" or "graphic" in British English. I can't seem to find any definitions meaning that in Google's dictionary -- Google has:
pip:
- a small hard seed in a fruit.
- [US] an excellent or very attractive person or thing
"An excellent or very attractive person or thing" seems too general to be intended, while I don't think the picture is supposed one of a fruit seed?
What is an equivalent American English word to "pip" in the graphic shown?
In informal British or American English, pip is a disc or diamond of rank worn on the shoulder of British officers or American cadets. It's also another word for a spot (spade, diamond, club, heart) on a playing card. So, it has a generic meaning outside computer graphics. I take pip in the example as plain English/American.
