What (probably children's, probably old) book contains a reference to a 'chiffon robe'?)
You might mean "chifforobe," a type of wardrobe, which appears a number of times in "To Kill a Mockingbird" (spelled "chiffarobe.")
The amount of chips a fast food place serves. I had to throw all this away because I was full. They should serve smaller portions.
Imagine being such a shithead that you can't conceive of "taking it home."

late 14c., "new things," plural of new (n.) "new thing" (see new (adj.)); after French nouvelles, which was used in Bible translations to render Medieval Latin nova (neuter plural) "news," literally "new things."
The odd and doubtful construction probably accounts for the absurd folk-etymology (attested by 1640 but originally, and in 18c. usually, in jest-books) that claims it to be an abbreviation of north east south west, as though "information from all quarters of the compass."
