No chops means if 2 players go into a hand where it'll be chopped half the time, lets say 85% tie before the flop is run they agree to chop it and both take half the pot back. A good example of this would be Ace King of Spades vs Ace King of Hearts. Lets say either player could make a flush thus winning the pot they would rather chop it to avoid bad beats.
The main reason Poker players like to chop pots is because they don't want to get it in on a coinflip - poker is about getting the smallest edge possible. Getting it in a 60% favourite consistently instead of getting it in a 50% favourite in the longrun the 60% will always come out on top.
