Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I had a friend, who emigrated to " Over there " and complimented his host's wife as being " A very good Chippy " (Brit-speak for Carpenter or woodworker) Ooops! A chippy, over here is either a fish-and-chip shop or a woodworker, dependent upon context. Nn. England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
