Actually registers are made out of flip-flops. A flip-flop is a one bit memory. So to get an eight bit register, you just use 8 flip-flops. Though flip-flops can be made using any of the digitial gates (ie. and, or, nor, and nand gates), in practice nand and nor are used more to implement flip-flops.

flip-flops are engineering terms which are used as memory cells like a D flip flop which has a input,output, preset and clear with a timer[optional]

I've never heard of the flip flop expression for 'on/off' switches. That's rather novel.
