splice (destructive) or slice sounds idea

var data = ["michael", "marc", "john", "david", "nick", "mom", "al", "marlana", "max","scooter", "pat", "george", "lynne", "tatyana", "kim", "kerry", "enza", "matt","liz", "linda", "ryan", "ed", "frank", "christine", "bill", "jack", "jill", "joe", "harry", "red", "fred", "iggy", "brian", "bob", "paul", "gil", "damian", "kip", "phil", "curtis", "aly", "richard", "robin", "grant", "ian", "raptor", "t-rex", "stegosaurux", "triceratops", "compy"]    function chunk(source,size) { // non-destructive    var arrofarr=[], cnt=0;    while (cnt < source.length) {       arrofarr.push(source.slice(cnt,cnt+size));       cnt+= arrofarr[arrofarr.length-1].length;    }    return arrofarr;  }    console.log(chunk(data,16));    // ----------------------------------    function chunkie(source,size) { // destructive    var arrofarr=[];    while (source.length) { arrofarr.push(source.splice(0,size)); }    return arrofarr;  }  console.log(chunkie(data,16));
