Did you know that…
Chip is a nickname for a guy named after his dad.
“Chip off the old block.”
Skip is a nickname for a guy named after his grandfather.
Skipped one generation.
Trip is a nickname for a guy named after his dad AND grandfather.
“Tri” is a prefix for “three.”
This isn’t always the case, of course. I’m sure there are some Chips, Skips, and Trips wandering the Earth for whom these rules don’t apply, but damn… it only took me 53 years to learn this.
The world is filled with interesting corners yet to be discovered.
