Isn't chippy a not so good slang term for women?
In American, yes, it means promiscuous young woman or prostitute. In Canadian it means irritable or in ice hockey, overly aggressive playing. In British it means fried potato slice selling establishment (stand or shop).
Where in America? I don't doubt it, I'm just not familiar with it. Is it possibly something that has fallen out as a slang term or incredibly regional?
It’s a silent generation thing. It’s only used now if you’re being sarcastically old timey.
