Wikipedia says that “chop chop" is a phrase first noted in the interaction between Cantonese and English people in British-occupied south China. It spread through Chinese workers at sea and was adopted by British seamen. "Chop chop" means "hurry" and suggests that something should be done now and without delay. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word "chopsticks" originates from this same root.

So in the future, refer only to “long narrow paired eating utensils.” And avoid watching Charlie Chan movies on YouTube, especially those starring the Swede in make-up, Warner Oland. Although these were popular among black audiences in the segregated balconies of the time, because the minority character always made the white ones look foolish.
