A stupid
mistake.
A derogatory term for a
person who often fucks up.
The term, chemlee, is taken from the television show, "Pawn Stars." The nickname of Austin "Chumlee" Russel, a employee of the pawn shop. (According to the show's web page, Austin's elementary school
friends took the name from cartoon character Tennessee Tuxedo’s sidekick, a walrus named Chumley.) Austin is a viewer favorite because of his entertaining fuck ups.
If someone were to put the Thanksgiving turkey in the oven but forget to turn it on thereby ruining Thanksgiving dinner....that
person "pulled a chumlee."
Hey Chumlee...how do you expect the
bird to
cook if you didn't turn on the oven!
