It means revving it real quick, and then letting it drop back down. So just a quick twist and release...

you don't have to let the rpms fall back down though, I blip the trottle when I downshift, up to say 5000 and shift at the same time letting engine drag do its thing. :wink:
but yes what devideoverflow said.

Blip means raise and then drop the rpms.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
