chasin
Going after something
Chasin is an informal spelling of "chasing," dropping the g as in speech.
It appears in casual writing, texting, and song lyrics: Stop chasin after people who don't want you.
The spelling captures the relaxed rhythm of spoken English, where final g's in -ing words often disappear.
