For somebody to claim that they introduced a word to the hobby that has been in common usage for 100s of years, at the very least, is absurd.
It’s up there with claiming to have invented the expressions “fake news” (first usage in 1890s) or priming the pump (1933 or so).
Jeton does not translate as chip but casino chip translates as casino jeton in the same way that plate does not translate to plaque but plaque translates to plate.
Yes, jeton does mean token and counter but in the context of how it is used in the hobby it is a certain type of gaming item. Are you suggesting that we may as well put them all together? Tokens, jetons and chips. Why stop there, you may as well put plaques in there too.
We called them for what they were (as all dealers do which you would know if you'd ever actually dealt), chips not tokens unless metal. And yes, I was a dealer who won competitions and was well regarded for many reasons so your stupid comment is exactly that, stupid.
As usual, you are missing the whole point of the conversation, it is the word chip that is not applicable and no, I didn’t freeze, I just didn’t see the point in making such a big thing about it although I was going to ask his opinion on ND ones but you make up what you want as you like to do.
I’m not the one who’s making a song and dance about a minor (yet important) part of the Playboy story, I’m just giving an opinion on why it should be under jeton, everything else you are just making up to be argumentative.
I continued on here as you are just being childish by attempting to prove a point that has nothing to do with the reasoning behind why they shouldn’t be in chip but then you do like to talk when you have the floor.
You keep on waffling for the next few years and have your fun, when you actually start to make some sort of sense maybe others will care.
