A chippy is a flirtatious or promiscuous woman in American slang.

Chip�pie [ch�ppee] (plural chip�pies) (noun) Definition: promiscuous woman or prostitute (dated slang) (sometimes considered offensive) [Late 19th century. < chip "cheep like a bird," an imitation of the sound]
Your first answer here has somehow been amended, Quizmonster, and contained strange allusions to "raspberry or strawberry one's". Here is a strawberry and mango tart, is this what you meant?

Ah! The censor robot on AnswerBank never ceases to amaze me, Golden. There certainly was a time when the word 'tart' was verboten, despite - in the circumstances here - that's being the most appropriate word.
The allusions weren't really that strange, since you clearly grasped my intention. I was hoping Moon_unit would do the same!
By the way, both Chambers and The Oxford English Dictionary offer chippy as the basic form of the word. American usage may well be different, of course, and 'Friends' is an American series, I suppose! Cheers
Methinks more a crafty Caledonian sleight of hand than an AnswerBank censor robot, invaluable Quizmonster. Season's best wishes to you and have a very good Hogmanay.
You're too kind, Golden. Aw ra best tae you an' yours for '06, too.
