Etymology

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.
