CBC News Gets It Dead Wrong
Here's a bit of a mystery.
There was a comment on Twitter today. " @CBCNews "cashing in her chips" does not mean cashing in by selling biographical rights, it's a colloquialism for dying."
No other info, no naming names. Tactful. Almost. Except for tagging them.
Old joke: how many CBC staffers does it take to do a radio show.
And how many people should have caught and corrected this, six? ten?
Anyone hear or view this chippy goof on CBC News?

Re: CBC News Gets It Dead Wrong
It's certainly one meaning - but not the only meaning:
It makes sense to cash in your chips.

Is this the time to cash in your chips or batten down the hatches and ride out the storm?
Times, Sunday Times (2007)
Whatever you are planning to spend your savings on, you have to cash in your chips first.
Times, Sunday Times (2013)
