Chip, Skip, or Trip?…

Some Americans give their sons the nickname  Chip, Skip, or Trip. How come?

  • Chip if he is named after the father (chip off the old block) 👨;
  • Skip if named after a grandfather (skipped a generation) 👴; and 
  • Trip if named both after the father and a grandfather (triple) 👨👴.
