chimping
v.— «I saw a reference to “chimping” in regards to [sports] photography and how a digital camera with an LCD screen can make it easier, probably for instant review. My guess is it refers to holding your camera over your head and shooting blind during those mob scene celebrations after games. Probably like how if you put enough chimps in a room with typewriters they will eventually write War and Peace, and if you do enough blind shots you’ll get one.» —“What is “chimping”?” by Alan Marks Usenet: rec.photo.equipment.35mm Dec. 10, 2000.
