Dancing move used mostly while dancing to fast electronic music, where the dancer slightly leans in and pretends he pulls the activating cord of a chainsaw (the dance move obviously refers to old, gas-activated chainsaws). Also known as "The Lawnmower" for obvious reasons. A perfect example can be found here:

Get the off the chains mug.the term used for when a guy is making the moves on a girl when he's trying to score. comes from the football term when a team is moving the ball down the field in an attempt to score, when they get a first down, the move the first down chains.
I haven't nailed Monica yet, but I'm moving the chains. Soon I'll be in the redzone and go for the score.

Get the moving the chains mug.a lame ass band that's always on the fucking radio despite being shitty as hell. uses the weakest beats in existence for their generic ass songs. also their lyrics are shit, but they still won a fucking Grammy. music is dead if pressing the same damn button on your cubase gets you one. i feel bad for your ears if you listen to them.
"why the fuck do people listen to the chainsmokers"
"idk but BTS fucking likes them for some fucking reason someone needs to confiscate namj***'s iPhone"
