To set one's affairs in order after an extended absence. Etymologically derived from when someone stole your soup, and you had to check their chin for remnants.

Chin checking is a common practice in low-income neighborhoods where infidelity runs rampant. In low-income neighborhoods where infidelity does not run rampant, it hardly occurs. Chin checking is referred to as "Hush up, Brandeen" by honkies.
