Word origin

The slang term 'choppers' is believed to have originated in the 1960s in the United States. It was commonly used to refer to both helicopters and motorcycles, which have a similar chopping or whirring sound. The term later expanded to include false teeth, likely due to their resemblance to the blades of a helicopter. Over time, 'choppers' has become a versatile term used in various contexts to describe different objects or body parts.
