Smooth

I, sometimes, hear AI planes saying "smooth" after the call sign and something sounds like "light chop", but in my last flight from LON to VIE, I heard it like seven times. What do they mean?

It's describing the turbulence conditions you should expect. Smooth being none to little turbulence, light chop would mean you could expect light turbulence, etc...

Thanks
