let the chips fall where they may
The idiom let the chips fall where they may means to allow events to happen without trying to change them, usually suggesting a willingness to accept the result, whatever it may be. The phrase originated in America in the late 1800s and has reference to chopping wood, implying that a woodcutter should focus on cutting logs and not worry about where the small pieces (chips) fall.
