I strained to hold the bridle while my steed champed at the bit to go. However, if you are bested by someone superior to your skills, you could say you had been "champed".
There is no particular origin for the word, it is thought to be of imitative origin and thus is onomatopoetic
I think you mean "two bits" like the litte song, "Shave and a haircut, two bits." Two bits is a quarter, twenty five cents.
Eight bits in a byte.
In ASCII encoding, if that's what you mean by "bits": 110110011011111110110110010100100000111100111011111110101 That's "love you", in ASCII.

A bit is an eighth of a dollar, but in this sense it is never used in the singular. Two bits is a quarter.
There are 8 bits in a byte.People use a lowercase 'b' to mean "bits" and an uppercase "B" to mean bytes. So if a hard drive has 500GB, that's giga-bytes. But if a network cable lists its speed as 10Mbps, that means 10 mega-bits per second.
No it just mean 8 bits.
