Answer 2

There are at least two different contexts. One is to harrass someone and the other is to punch them in the mouth. Give me a moment to post a link to the other context.

bust your chops

punch on jaw or mouth

Just make sure that you stick to the first context.

Answer 3

yes, it is- it is saying is pulling someones strings- in this case Charlius- in other worlds the author gets a kick from getting a reaction out of Charlius (usually angry one ). chops is jaws you know how the jaws move when we humans talk.
