What did Flint mean when he asked "I wonder what it is that always makes the Rodneys choose the wrong side?" and then points at the badge on his coat?
Obviously the coat of arms is some kind of family crest, and maybe this has significance in Hal Fimberg's novel. The implied insult is that Rodney is a loser from a long line of losers.....a "born loser", if you will.
share...guys with names like "Rodney" are always bad guys.
Or something like that.
It's definitely referencing Sir Rodney's family line, due to Flint pointing to the coat-of-arms when he makes the remark. The Rodney family obviously has a history of bad decision-making that Flint is aware of, yet somewhere along the way this element was dropped from the story and this scene was left with no real context.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
Ubu55 is correct. It means a bend sinister - that someone in his family was illegitimate: the wrong side being the wrong side of the blanket.
