1. The phrase “a chip on your shoulder” refers to a feeling of anger towards someone or something.
2. This feeling can come from a perceived injustice or insult that the person has experienced.
3. Instead of letting go of these emotions, the person involved holds on to a sense of anger and carries it around with them.

The idiom let the chips fall where they may means to allow events to happen without trying to change them, usually suggesting a willingness to accept the result, whatever it may be. The phrase originated in America in the late 1800s and has reference to chopping wood, implying that a woodcutter should focus on cutting logs and not worry about where the small pieces (chips) fall.
