notes

• This term uses "chips" in the American English sense. American English "chips" would be called "crisps" in British English.

adjective

• the best. Possibly derived from all that and a bag of chips, since Fritos is a brand of chips. (The previous applies to American English. In British English, read "chips" as "crisps".)

  You should really read this book. It's all that and a bag of Fritos.
