chipped in came out to help Explanation: It means all the motel staff came out and helped to get the car started again. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2005-06-17 02:46:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- They did their bit to help the car start again. Chipped in is used when you want to say that the help provided was useful but it was not comprehensive. Little little things done at random in a well-meaning way. |
