Do Chicks dig the term "Chick"?

Recommended Posts

i have no problem with chick. i think it's cute.

as long as it's not proceeded or followed by a disrespectful comment it's ok by me.

Actually, they prefer "chicken-head". Go call the next you see a chicken-head. She'll think you're being cute and will hug you.



My friend uses the term "chicken-head" instead of "chick" when he wishes to make it clear he does not respect the woman. He felt "chick" was too common, and therefore left his level of respect ambiguous.

In my usage, "chick" has for the most part become as acceptable as "dude". Sometimes I use "babe" instead, to make sure things are in a positive light. There are plenty of words downhill from "chick" when needed. I rarely use them, except when I'm talking to my GF and it's a mood thing. (Don't ask; you know she like it like that; etc.)

It used to bug me, but now I don't mind it and I use it myself as well.

What do you guys think of girlie? I've had a couple of friends say "Stay cool girlie" or the like. It didn't bother me because they were female and good friends. I'm not sure I would like it coming from anyone else though. I use it with my sister and close friends now too but not with anyone else cause I'm not sure how they'd take it, based on how I'd probably take it.

Could someone give an example of a GOOD and BAD context for the word Chick?

Truly, I am glad that this is being posted! I was told by one girl (one time) a long time ago that the word chick was an insult to women and I believed it. So, I usually try to avoid using it in front of girls. Now, it is no-holds-bard. But I'd still like to know what would be considered what is rude and not-rude.
