Chops

Ability to play a musical instrument. From the slang term "chops" for jaw, it originally referred to singers and perhaps wind instrumentalists. It eventually grew to include any type of instrument, though it is mostly used for instruments in more popular styles. (That is, you're more likely to hear about Eddie van Halen's chops than Yo-Yo Ma's.)

I love listening to Jeff Beck. That guy has some serious chops.

Chops

A mouth trap. Summer Teeth. The chops are golden in color resembling corn on the cob with thick butter. They are tiny like cute little yellow chiclets.

Chops

At any given time, good bad awkward, the word chops can be used to fill an awkward silence, instill confidence in a person, confuse the other person, used as a greeting or to describe something undescribable. When people ask you what chops is you simply say, "Whatever you want it to be, bro."

Note: Chops should not be confused with pork chops.

Chops Bro!

The Chops

as in Karate chop. The form of both hands held out, open and stiff in a somewhat robot stance, ready for some ass kickin'. Just like in martial art films, but more in a way a child would do so, kinda Karate Kid style (Ralph Macchio).

We got a problem here, do I need to bring out The Chops?!
