What does "chop-logic" (chopped logic) mean?
Romeo and Juliet III.5:
"How now, how now, chop-logic!"

On each site I go I see a different explanation:
chopped logic (n.) contentious arguer, disputatious wretch
chopped logic = hair-splitting
chopp'd logic: illogical logic, shallow argument

I think the latter is more fitting.
