Description
Chip – a happy birthday card to a younger relative – probably a son – with a a set of coloured blocks and one block tipped over at an angle to show it is a chip off the old block.
This begs the question of where the phrase comes from. We know that the phrase ‘a chip off the old block’ is an idiomatic expression about generations.
And we know it is used to convey the idea that a child closely resembles or takes after one of their parents, typically the father. But what’s the origin of the phrase?
Well, here’s the big reveal: No one knows. it has been around for several centuries, and it is very English. But beyond that its origins are lost in the mists of time.
