Right, the thread 'Tempted to buy a Chimp' has led to a discussion regarding the nick name of our beloved Chimaeras. It's my view that the word 'Chimp' is a derogatory term instigated by the girls over on the Griff forum, and that we should not acknowledge this aspersion in any way. There are however a number of Chimaera owners who appear to embrace the word 'Chimp', and think it is an acceptable term. So, what is it? Chim or Chimp

Sorry Chilliman, but I like 'Chimp'  Then again, I love Monkeys and Apes of any kind so it suits me  Although, I do also call it a Chim sometimes as well as Chimaera.....

Both mine have been Chimps. Term of endearment for me. & we are currently in the Chimp Cage.

Unsurprisingly given my PH names both past & resent I dont have an issue with "Chimp". It's just a fun nickname, no reason to take offence. My Wedgie mates call me "The Chimp", amongst other things Good old fashioned banter if you ask me & I don't see a problem with taking the pish out of myself

Chimp suits it, it's a good laugh and a bit of fun, but then I haven't spent a small fortune making it into something serious...

I'm really sorry to have started off on the wrong foot on the forum.. I did genuinely mean it as a term of endearment. Whatever they're called I still think they are stunning pieces of moving artwork.
I definitely didn't mean to offend anyone or cause a fuss..
