AFAIK never used in canon.
 
Related words:

poD 		be clipped (v)
poDmoH 	clip (v)
DuQ 		stab (v)
pe' 		cut (v)
SIj 		slit (v)

jIb 		hair (on head) (n)
loch 	mustache (n)
rol 		beard (n)

Can {chip} be used for cutting or trimming other things - e.g. prune a plant - or do we use {poD] and {poDmoH} for that?  E.g.

KGT 172f.:  One form of nonstandard speech that is heard rather frequently is what is called {tlhIngan Hol poD} ("Clipped Klingon") or simply {Hol poD} ("clipped language").
