A new term
more from blah
Jun 7, 05

In a flurry earlier tonight, I coined a new term tonight: nipple chip.

Definition: to eat ravenously

Example: Man, I was so hungry at lunch that I nipple chipped half a pizza!

Origin: This hot new phrase came to be when I intended to write, "I wolfed down a bunch of food", while chatting over IM with my wife. But when I thought "wolfed", my brain connected that with "wolf" (pretty straightforward), which pointed to the scene in Life of Brian when the guys were at the colosseum discussing whether Stan could have babies (not so straightforward). Specifically, there was a vendor walking around in the background selling wolf nipple chips, so my brain switched "wolf" with "nipple chips", and that's what came out. And there you have it, the origin of a beautiful new phrase.

Random comment: I find it intriguing how this whole process took about 0.2 seconds from start to finish in my brain, yet it takes a ton of explanation to describe to somebody else.
