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.
chip in To make a contribution, either of money or of time and effort; to interrupt or butt in. This expression probably derives from the game of poker in which chips, representing money, are placed by players in the âpot.â Putting chips in the âpotâ is equivalent to entering the game.
