What does "chopper" mean in this context? A gun? A knife?
In the U.S., it usually means a helicopter or a motorcycle. In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where I learned to talk, "choppers" are leather mittens that you wear over your knitted ones.
Googling "chopper UK slang" tells me it means a penis, but that can't be right.
