TOP DEFINITION
Thick, soft French fries – the kind that are a bit soggy and oily ("slap" means "limp" in Afrikaans). These are a takeaway staple, often doused in vinegar and salt. Beloved at fish-and-chip shops and with Gatsby sandwiches.
"Let's get a large parcel of slap chips to share – I love how vinegary and soft they are, even if they're not crispy like regular fries."
