Well, chimps are well known for throwing ... stuff ... at people!

As a denizen of the USA, and seeing all too many tweets reported on the TV, I must sadly and wholeheartedly agree with you about chimps throwing "stuff".

Whattaya know, I got that one, sorta. I came up with the right word but being American thought the word started with a 'u' so I thought I was wrong.
No, I'm not going to post it. NO WAY I could come up with a clue. Not smart in that way.

I thought you must be imagining things but then found this[^].
I don't remember it, so I guess I just happened to anagram the same word.

You have a good memory, and I'll bet OG does too.

Greg's anagram was different to mine though - I wish I'd used his!
TBH, when I saw the question this morning, "indefatigable" was the word that popped up instantly, 13 letters confirmed it, and then I saw the anagram. I didn't remember that I posted a similar one 5 or 6 moths ago: my memory is nowhere near as good as my wife's - she can remember things I did (or didn't) do decades ago. At great length.

Nothing to do with memory - it's genetics...

... then this 3-letter-word "bad" has all 8 possible combinations which are actually words again...
as a non-native I found that quite funny and coincidentally found it.
with b/p and a/e and d/t which all sound more or less similar, we have 3 "bits" which leads to 8 possible combinations:
bad-bat-pat-pad-bed-bet-pet-ped
and each of them makes sense! ... I couldn't find anything similar in german (my native language)
while "ped" gave me this definition from google translate
Definitionen von PED
Substantiv
a performance-enhancing drug.
"he's admitted to using PEDs in the past"
cheers

It's not clear to me exactly what your chars as bits means - and as a native speaker - the substitutions you make are inexplicable.
However, let me point out that before PED was some sort of drug it definitely had another meaning[^]. A brand for all sort of peripheral items. More specifically, picture at top of page.[^]
Take the above as a little "Gift" for you (Oops! Austrian meaning a bit different than English)

Yes i can imagine that its not easy to predict, what substitutions appear "logical" to me - in german it's the "hard" and "soft" version of each, d=t, b=p which get replaced and a=e because in some english words they are close in how they are pronounced ("anger", "entry", "bank", "bench" ..)
anyway - for a german speaking mind (ok... maybe just for MY mind  ) it was logical - I told that my family - they all found it amazing and funny
