usually find people who refer to a chipper as a chippy also use the incredibly annoying "footie" (unless they are English and they can get off with that.

Chippy and fitba.

When did people start saying ‘melt’? Another one is calling someone ‘trash’, although that is an Americanism that I think has come from Twitter.
I used to consider that melt was slang for your face (yer melt) but it seems to have evolved away from that.

Anyone who lacks the perspective in life to accept that things have different names and pronunciations in different places is a fucking melt.

Of course things have different names in different places. It’s just that a chipper is the same countrywide, it’s a place that chips wood. Whereas a chippy, also the same countrywide, is a place that sells fish suppers and the like.
