Who is "chief"? Is it a colloquialism or an actual person?

@huskola "Chief" is just the hypothetical person the title is being said to. It's kind of a meme-y way of talking. Here's a page with more info: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ima-keep-it-real-with-u-chief

Thanks for the answer! As I age I try to keep up with things but may have to relent to just maintaining status quo.

Using the term "chief" to refer to someone is not new. My uncle used to call my dad that probably 30 years ago when they worked together.
