Wow. is there really any argument about what "chops" means? It's always meant technique to me and everyone I know.
In my experience, it has referred to that incalculable combination of technique and the musculature needed to play. Occasionally separated, as in "his technique sucks, but he's got very strong chops", often used to describe high-note trumpeters who can play high for hours, but can't play a melodic line without having it written down for them.
