chips are a sign of the devil; the end of times. there are already people in the government that are getting them. why? because they want all of us to think that they are a good thing to have. it's just another way to let "big brother" know what you are doing. just like gps systems in your vehicle or cell phone.

I think it just means "I'm going' to the jewlery store to get some grillz." I don't think he means to literally rob the jewlery store. So that would be my guess.

... this sounds like an essay question. I'd be really careful about asking an essay question on here(with the intent to copy someone else's).\nI'm not too sure what it means by representation, I would like to know how it's used in context. \nComputer are now a commodity. \nThe word call(as in on the phone) used to mean to go out and visit someone, however now it's main meaning is different..\ncertain symbols in everyday life are also seen on computers and end up having a much stronger connotation towards the technology theme than the real on.\n\nI think all of those could fit what you're asking, but I don't know that any of them would actually work

A "chip in" is a holed shot that occurs beyond the putting surface. (green). No matter how or where the ball is holed, the player should always retreive the ball with their hands, even if the flagstick is still there. If you pull the flag to get the ball out, you run the risk of damaging the cup, of which takes several weeks to repair itself, and in the meantime doesn't make it very enjoyable for any goler playing after you---pure ettiquette. If the ball is on the putting surface and the ball is holed with the flagstick in without it being tended and pulled before being holed...penalty.

Then they'll have sweets and biscuits and cakes.  Cutting back is more appropriate.  Mine get chips once a week sometimes twice.  As for crisps, I don't buy them unless they're on special offer.
