A one chip flip is very common in both cash and tournament play. It could be confusing sometimes if a player is facing a bet as well since it might mean 'all in' or call. Always best to clarify with the Dealer before turning a hand over or taking any other action.
Lots of players don't want to verbalize actions since it may give away a tell to the strength of their holding or perhaps having shaky hands when putting chips out
I love to use the single chip flip to intimidate an opponent when all-in. It shows I'm so confident in my hand that I'm not going to bother putting in chips when there just coming back to me anyway! I use it both to get opponents to fold and call based on my read of what I think their reaction is going to be.
1) You will 'never' get poker players to verbalize 'everything.'
2) Single chip flip is accepted and part of game play as well IMO. GL
