What is Chain Check?
1.
When someone is wearing some fake-ass cheap necklace/chain that the person doing the checking doesn't think is real. You go up to the wearer and pull on the front of the chain or medallion or what have you on the front to see if it falls off because of the horrible quality.

When you yank on somebody's wallet chain and yell 'CHAIN CHECK'
This ensures that their wallet chain is in good condition and properly doing its job.
