Chipping

Chipping is a prefix used in a number of place names in England, probably derived from ceapen, an Old English word meaning 'market', though the meaning may alternatively come from (or via) the Medieval English word chepynge with a more specific meaning of 'long market square'. It was sometimes historically spelt as Chepying.

Chipping can also refer to:

• chip tuning a car's ECU system
• installing a modchip into a game console
• using a woodchipper
• being a chipper (tobacco), or other occasional drugs user. For this reason it has come to mean insufflating i.e. a heroin user who insufflates rather than injects.
