How to use "Chip off old block" in context?
When people say "chip off old block," they are often referring to the psychological tendency for people to resemble their parents, especially in characteristics like intelligence or personality. Studies have shown that blood relatives are often the groups people look to for information and inspiration, so it's not too surprising that the personality of someone's parents would rub off on them. However, the phrase can also be used more figuratively to describe someone who is similar to someone else in some way, even if they didn't share a familial bond.
