Err ... aye/no, as far as Ah remember, it was the 'Chinky Chipper' .... never ever heard it ca'd the 'Chinky Chippy/Chippie'.

Aye the loons right ! Davy's chipper on Logie place was always Davy's chipper until Davy changed his name. Its remained the Chinky Chipper ever since. It burned down in 83,

Where do you teuchters get the ‘ra’ from when impersonating weegies? Replace it with ‘eh’ and you’d be much closer to getting it right.

RJ, get yourself up to a chipper and get us a final, definitive answer.

The first time I heard a chippy getting called a chipper was on this site. I used to enjoy a fish supper at Mike’s chippy in Torry on my way back down the road years ago.
Here is a question for you lot….is it a chippy if it’s in the city but a chipper if it’s out in the wilds of the Aberdeenshire countryside? It would explain a lot.

Don't be fückin ridiculous.

As one of the resident teuchters I can confirm it’s definitely, definitively a chipper in the shire. But I suspect it’s also a chipper in the toon. Unlike butteries, this is something on which the NE is united.

(As someone who was and is still sometimes called ‘wee Jimmy’ by all the auld wifies in the village even as I tower over them, I felt a prickle of resentment at the anti-Jimmy sentiment of a previous poster. I fear despite my dislike of identity politics in all its forms I may need to become a woke keyboard warrior who defends the rights of Jimmys everywhere to assert their unique identity. But then again, having to side with the great unwashed of SW Scotland might just be too great a barrier to overcome. So maybe not.)
