Footwear: "Flip-flop" refers to a kind of sandal that slaps the heal when the wearer takes a step. So his sandals make a snap-snap sound as he walks.
Politics: "Flip-flop" means changing one's mind. Politicians who change their minds are regarded by their enemies as unable to make strong decisions, which means they are weak and uncertain. The opposite of "flip-flop" is "stubborn".
