chipperadj.

Brit. /ˈtʃɪpə/, U.S. /ˈtʃɪpər/
Origin: Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: English kipper.
Etymology: Probably a variant of English regional (northern) kipper light, nimble, lively, in good spirits, eager (17th cent.: see Eng. Dial. Dict. (1902) at kipper adj.), itself of unknown origin. If so, it seems likely that the variant arose from association with chipper v.1 and related words denoting a cheeping sound (compare as chipper as a bird at Phrases). However, as the form is also recorded in southern and midland English counties (Sussex in 19th cent., Lincolnshire in 20th cent.) it is conceivable (if much less likely) that the variation could be similar to that shown by e.g. church n.1 and kirk n., churn n. and kirn n.1, or variants at chaff n.1 (and hence both chipper and kipper would probably be of much earlier date than shown by the attestations).
Originally North American. Cheerful and lively; chirpy.
