A Canadian term for chips and crisps.
Mostly used to refer to potato chisps but can also be used for other forms of chips and crisps such as corn chisps, nacho chisps, tortilla chisps, and dorito chisps.
The origin of chisps is a combination of crisps and chips because the Canadians took inspiration from the European term and the American term when creating their own.
Though some Canadians will still refer to chisps as chips, chisps is regarded as the correct term. This error comes from the fact that it says chips on the packaging of most chisps because they come from America where the correct term is in fact chips.

Get the chisps mug.British Army acronym describing urban warfare, it stands for Fighting In Someone's House & Causing Havoc In People's Streets. It probably comes from some squaddie saying that urban warfare was fighting in someone’s house, another realised that it spelled “FISH”. The logical thing, given the British soldiers’ sense of humour would be to add “& CHIPS” and find something appropriate to match the letters. Strictly speaking that makes it a bacronym, but a remarkably appropriate one for all that.
