I think you mean "chimping" which is the act at looking down at the LCD screen on your camera after taking a picture.

Excessively looking at the LCD after each and every shot. Some have argued it is
an indication that the photographer doesn't have confidence in their ability to meter
a scene. Others might argue to the contrary.

Chipping is when you miss the Green and you have to chip your next shot.

It is monkeying around. Some feel compelled to look at the LCD screen after each shot. If your equipment works you should not have to do that. Never a bad idea for the first few shots of the shoot, though, to make sure you have not forgotten those settings changes you made last time!

I leave my LCD turned off. If I have to look, I just hit the button.

And we should remember that the LCD screen chews up your battery power.

Chimping is looking at the image you just took and going "oo" "oo" "oo" while missing a much better shot
Watch this video for a perfect explanation ...

It is a good idea to look at the first shot of a series and check the histogram. That tells you most of what you need to know.

Chipping is very difficult and hard to learn. You have to have the right club and be the right distance from the green.
Chimping is when you look at your shot you just took on the screen at the back of the camera after EVERY SHOT.

I always look. Shoot landscape and always check for Highlight warning.
