Good afternoon,

I would to know the meaning of these two words, the noun 'chop' and 'the chop'. I have looked in the dictionnay but I'm still stuck with the sense, I stay in the fog. I don't like to have to relinquish and I'm sure one of you can explain me that in a simple way with some sentences for enlighten my brain.

Thanks in advance for your replies (It's not hurry).

Note: Do not hesitate to correct me, it's my pleasure to learn across my mistakes.

Here's an example of the verb "to chop": "The woodman chops firewood".
The expression "to get the chop" means to be fired from your job.
"A chop" (noun) is a cut of meat.

Hello Euncu,

Are you sure 'learn across' is wrong?

See you later on the forum.
