chimp out
verb/t͡ʃɪmp aʊt/
Etymology From chimp + out, comparing the stereotyped behavior of black people to chimpanzees. Popularized in 2025–2026 by online figures such as Chud the Builder, after which the term began to be used in a nonracial sense (as, e.g., by 6ix9ine). N.b. that this sense is still likely to offend. The noun is a deverbal of the verb.

- On one blog I was treated to a picture of a caged monkey with the below caption: Imagine for a minute the fantastic awesome reaction among other chimps if Obama was pulled from his palace and sent to Nigger University (Prison) for 25 years. Not only would they chimp out, but it'd be a perfect excuse to add them to the good nigger (dead nigger) list. It's a win-win!2012, D. S.
