- userbinator 13y agoIs there a reason to use that though? From some quick Googling, I can't find any references to it. Also, there is already a term for a piece of a UI that you can click on to do something, one that doesn't have over a dozen other overloaded meanings (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chip http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chip ), and one that users would be far more familiar with: "button".
- qwerty_asdf 13y agoThanks! I've never heard that expression before. I'd be curious to know where it's usage comes from. It sounds like vague, new-school slang.
