Phrases

the chop

chop logic

Origin

Late Middle English: variant of chap¹.

In the sense ‘to cut something into small pieces’ chop is a variant of the closely related word chap (Late Middle English), ‘to become cracked and sore’. Similarly, while a choppy sea nowadays is one with the surface broken up by many small waves, in the early 17th century the adjective meant ‘full of cracks or clefts’. To chop and change is to keep changing your opinions or behaviour without warning and often for no good reason. Both chop and change could once mean ‘barter or exchange’, and they were used in this phrase (which originally meant ‘to buy and sell’) from the 15th century onwards. As time went on, change came to be interpreted in its more usual sense, with chop reinforcing the idea of abruptness.
Australians and New Zealanders refer to something not very good as being not much chop. The chop here is a different word, which comes from Hindi chāp ‘stamp, brand’. Europeans in the Far East used the Hindi word for documents such as passports which were given an official stamp, and it came to mean something that was genuine or had quality or class.
The word chopstick (late 17th century) is from a quite different word again, being based on the Chinese dialect term kuaizi, meaning ‘nimble ones’. The chop- part (kuai in Chinese) means ‘quick’—hence chop-chop (mid 19th century), also originally based on a Chinese dialect expression.
