Where does chopped come from?
The slang use of chopped is believed to have roots in African American English (some online commentators further specify that it originated in the NYC/New Jersey area) and has been around for decades, but has recently seen a marked increase in usage by young people.
How is chopped used?
Chopped is used of both people and things, and while its current popularity is primarily driven by the Internet, there is evidence that more people are adopting it in everyday conversation.
Stella Wang, 24, who posted a video on TikTok about what she called the “chopped man epidemic” (voicing her observation that she had not been seeing many men she thought were attractive), said the term was “chronically online.” In her case, however, chopped is creeping into casual conversation with friends. “Like, ‘That guy’s chopped’” she said of how she and her friends used the word. “Basically, just like unattractive, ugly, not good looking,” she added.
