Not with the context we've been given, no.
Note that some punctuation was added to have it make more sense in English, but not all the errors were corrected in the Spanish version. With more context, we could provide a more accurate translation. Welcome to the forums, by the way. |

Just for the sake of a possible regionalism, "papitas" is the colloquial word in Mexico for "potato chips".
No slang or second meaning, just someone bringing something to eat to someone else who might be busy.

Quote:
At least in the South of Spain, like in Mexico, "papa" is the colloquial word for "patatas" (and it is in the RAE), although "papitas" is not usual.
