I actually always wondered about logic-chopping. There it was in Romeo and Juliet, Capulet asking, enraged, "How, how, how? Chop-logic, what is this?" And I sort of got it, but didn't. Then I read Quine say of his student Burton Dreben, many years later, that he chopped logic with the best of them. So that sort of made sense of the Shakespeare, until I realized that Quine must have been getting it from Shakespeare.
Anyhow, I like the sound of it too: it reminds me of Semiramide, an opera I love.
