To be "chopped" in contemporary slang primarily means to be considered ugly or very unattractive. It is used mostly in online and social media contexts, especially among younger generations like Gen Z and Gen Alpha, as a blunt and often harsh insult about someone's physical appearance. The term has evolved from its original meaning (such as being cut or dismissed) and is now widely used in memes and digital communication to denote unattractiveness. Additionally, "chopped" is starting to be used more broadly to describe situations or things that are annoying, unfair, or generally undesirable, beyond just referring to looks.
In some contexts, "chopped" can also mean being abruptly rejected or dismissed, a meaning that comes from reality TV shows like the cooking competition "Chopped" where contestants get eliminated, but this is less common in slang usage today.
Thus, "being chopped" usually means being called ugly, but the word is flexible and can also apply to negative situations or things.
