chopper

Rotary-winged transport

A chopper is something that chops—a cleaver, an ax, or a food processor blade.

In informal use, chopper most often means a helicopter, from the chopping motion of the rotor blades: The chopper lifted off at dawn.

A chopper is also a customized motorcycle with high handlebars and an extended front fork, associated with outlaw biker culture.

In British slang, choppers are teeth.
