Subject: RE: Choosing a Digital Camera
I was checking definitions of "chimping" and Wikipedia claims it is and
acronym: "Chimp is an acronym for CHeck IMage Preview."
sounds like horseshit to me. (Does horseshit make a noise?
PLOP !
whatever). I reckon that's a back-formation that someone's come up with.
Does wikipedia
provide any kind of evidence?
It also mentions
the "ooh, ooh, ahh, ahhh" connection. I will continue to cite the
latter.

New terminology might be a more appropriate phrase. This typically
includes current words given new meanings. There are very few totally
new words with a truly "short term" etymology. Even completely new
physical properties like those that arise in fundamental physics are
usually named with current words given new meanings, e.g.,
strangeness.
