What does Chopper mean?
/ˈt͡ʃɑ.pɚ/

Chopper is an agent noun built from the verb "to chop" - something that chops, whether that's a kitchen tool, a heavily customized motorcycle, or, in slang, a helicopter.

Chopper has a scrappy, tough-guy charm, well suited to a companion who's got some bite to their personality, even if they're a total softie underneath.
