chips
Salsa's crunchy partner
Chips are thin, flat pieces—usually crisp and edible.
In American English, chips are thin slices of potato fried until crunchy: a bag of chips, chips and dip.
In British English, chips are thick-cut fried potatoes (American French fries): fish and chips.
Chips also means small fragments broken off something larger: wood chips, paint chips.
In gambling, chips are tokens representing money: poker chips, cash in your chips.
In computing, chips are integrated circuits: computer chips, microchips.
To have a chip on your shoulder is to carry a grudge.
When the chips are down, circumstances are dire. (Capitalized CHIPS is an acronym.)
