Short for Championship - Chip or Ship?

I'm seeing a lot of people spell it both ways and I think we need to establish a standard because it's incredibly frustrating.

Which one is it?

I would like it if anyone that doesnt conform to the will of this board was punished once a standard is established.

So far 4 say it's chip and 0 say it's ship. You need to get on board.

Yup, perma ban from site if anyone has the audacity to go against this rule(even if they plead ignorance to realizing it was a rule here). You can't go soft on stuff like this.

I prefer Chip. It's still a valid abbreviation (Championship) and just seems to fit better to me. Winning a chip vs. winning a ship. Chip just feels better. If you had the LarryOB in your hands and called it a ship that would feel weird, but if you called it a chip that seems more fitting for that object.

Chip is a championship, a ship is a relationship.

Chip like the most valuable poker chip in Vegas worth more than all the other chips

Rule eleventeen of the handbook specifically says "they are to be referred to as 'chips' along with 'chise, 'ronto, and fitna''

I'm sorry but if we're going to (aka finna) start handing out punishments, first order of business is to ban the use of 'chise.

is this some kind of lexicon you're trying to create for realgm members that only members will be privy to?

i certainly have never heard the media get that geeky so this must be a realgm thing.

i think there should be a sticky of the realgm vocabulary so'z new members will feel special about joining this site.
