Not that I've traveled all over the US, but I've never heard the term "chippy" used that way here. Where is it used?
It is archaic usage. Think the roaring 20s.
Is it older or younger than "flapper?"
I’ve only heard it from Silent Generation folks, or people being sarcastically old timey as they playfully criticize younger women. I’m in California.
