    Took me some time to figure this out as a non native speaker:

    • lift, easy
    • flat, that took a while
    • Chipped, didn’t even know that idiom…

      Long potato sticks are called chips in the UK and freedomnch fries in the US :)

      US chips are UK crisps, btw.

      Yes, the first two are obvious, but I didn’t get the last one.

      Mainly because “to french fry” isn’t an actual verb, afaik.

      Alternative could have been “has an RFID transponder implanted”.
