chipetiquette
/ˈtʃɪpˌɛtɪkɛt/nounVerified NewAlso in: Pommesknigge (Deutsch) · patatiqueta (Español) · fritquette (Français)
The shared-chips rules: the payer decides the sauce, the first hand claims the crispy ones, and the last chip is offered twice.
Chipetiquette is unwritten and enforced at the table by glances. Reaching across is licensed by hunger and forgiven by friendship. The final chip is offered once as ceremony, declined as manners, and taken as truth — every table runs the same code, and nobody wrote it down.
Etym. — chips + etiquette — the diplomatic protocol of the shared basket.
