    In the US, it is an expression that is used almost exclusively in politics to describe a politician that takes inconsistent positions on an issue or set of issues. It is used to paint a politician as untrustworthy on an issue or in general. I have never heard it used outside of a political discussion.

    Examples:

    "I don't like him because he flip flops on every issue, he has no core values"
    "She flip flopped on the war"
    "They flip flopped on abortion"

    I would not use 'either' in this case and don't think many native US English speakers would either. It may be different in other English countries though. Neither way is incorrect. As for how common they are.... I don't find myself using them that much in daily conversation. Out of the three, I use both the most, then either and I hardly ever use neither.

    Neither is incorrect, but the second one is what most people would say

    I agree with Hazel, I would say A as well. Both are technically correct though.
