The source of the verb Chapuling is Turkish word "Çapulcu" (means looter, plunderer) which was used to describe Gezi Park protestors by Turkish PM Erdogan. Meanwhile in Occupy Gezi Park protests someone sprayed on a wall "Every day I'm Çapuling!" and the verb went viral.

After PM's speech protestors started to call themselves çapulcus and yeah they were chapuling,
Resisting,
Seeking for rights,
Seeking justice,
Protesting.

Chappelling 

(verb) - Having anything and everything go wrong at the most inopportune of times. One may say that they're "really killing it right now, guys" or that "this is fine, everything is fine" when it is indeed the exact opposite.
You know you're Chappelling pretty hard when you go to start a timed quiz on your labtop for pharmacology and your charging cord lights on fire.

Chappuling 

Chappuling (Turkish : çapuling) is a neologism originating in the May 2013 protests in Turkey, derived from Prime Minister Erdoğan use of the term "çapulcu" (roughly translated to "looter" or "maraunder" ) to describe demonstators. The word quickly caught on, adopted and anglicized by the demonstrators with a new meaning: fighting for one's rights. Many took the concept further by integrating the unique nature of the demonstrations and defined it as "to act towards taking the democracy of a nation to the next step by reminding governments of their reason for existence in a peaceful and humorous manner." The word also used by Noam Chomsky to support the occupy turkey movement
