It's context sensitive. We know what we mean.

  1. "I'm going to pick up some chips on my way to your place."
  2. "Hey, can i have some of your chips?"

Couldn't be simpler.

At least use chips and chippies like the Kiwis.

Do you mean, chups and chuppies?

We also say chips and chips. If you need to clarify, crisps are "potato chips" and chips are "hot chips". A chippie is a shop that sells (fish and) chips, not the chips themselves.
