The phrase âa chip on oneâs shoulderâ is reported as originating with the nineteenth century U.S. practice of spoiling for a fight by carrying a chip of wood on oneâs shoulder, daring others to knock it off. This suggested derivation has more than the whiff of folk-etymology about it.
In early Roman times, people thought the bone resembled a trowel, a small shovel. The shoulder blade is also called omo in Latin medical terminology. The scapula forms the back of the shoulder girdle. In humans, it is a flat bone, roughly triangular in shape, placed on a posterolateral aspect of the thoracic cage.
