"Do you want me to put huipin crim on it?"

"huipin crim" is a phonetic rendition of "whipping cream". I imagine it's a bit like saying, "I'd like some crème fraîche, please," except French is every language's bitch, which is, i suspect, why they are so insistent on their own lingual purity. After all, imagine the embarrassment and irony if some French anglicism is imported into English as the next trendy bon mot.
