In the context you mean, its somebody that continually 'chips in' with comments to a conversation, often uninvited. They cannot wait their turn to speak, continually interrupt and are a pain in the a*se at meetings. |

Basically chipping in means "contributing" in some way. |

No, chipping in isn't a bad habit. It means helping/contributing.
Example; "Do you wanna chip in and donate some money for my charity?"
EDIT: Ranjeeh D's got the right idea, actually. It can be a bad habit in that context. So basically, chipping in = contributing in either a good, bad, or neutrel way. |

Paying for your share.
Contributing to the workload.
Doing your share of the work.
All are " chipping in "
It's not a bad habit, it's a good habit.
I'm Australian and 100% sure. |

means help in many ways, as financially chipping in for the camping, or work, chipping in to mow the grass and do the gardening.Chipping in for the party means to bring something..... |

Yeah Ranjeeh D is right if 'chipping in' is used in a negative sense it means interrupting a conversation.
I am wondering if used in the negative way it is more an English saying than an Australian one judging from the responses?
I'm Australian but my parents are English and I'm thinking that it might be an expression I have heard from them. |
