Yes. A "chippie" is a petite, young woman. Usually someone who falls into the "barely legal" catagory.

The term I always heard as a kid was more related to fast and loose girls.

Hmmmm . . . well, I'd have to add that if LL is a chippie . . . she's a high class chippie . . . LOL

Urban dictionary defines it as a British fish and chips stand. I’ve heard it used in the u.s. as an abbreviation for chipmunk.

It SO much sounds like a Britishism but apparently it’s American. Also a British euphemism for chips (…or as we colonials say “French Fries)?

As a Brit I've only ever heard "Chippie" used to describe a carpenter/joiner? Could be an "old" English term but it's definitely not widely used.

I read a lot, and have lived in many interesting places.

That described Little Lorna perfectly I thought! Lol. Is it like an old fashioned term? I’ve never heard it used before.

I think you're on the right track, as my impression was that among the many names for the World's oldest profession, 'chippie' refers to the younger, flashier and cheaper end of the spectrum. But again, that's just my experience.

Merriam Webster defines it as British slang for a Tramp or Prostitute, I define it as a "practitioner of Entrepreneurism" or one who "Promotes the General Welfare".
