someone (male or female) refers to you as a "chick"? The reason why I ask this is because if you look up the word "chick" in the dictionary, one of the definitions is: "an attractive girl or young woman (slang) (sometimes considered offensive)." I guess it depends on how the word is used as to whether it would offend someone or not. I find myself calling another female a "chick" if I don't like them, usually in a disparaging way. What do you think?

That's good to hear.

Are we living in the 1950's or 1960's?

No, it doesn't offend me at all...but then again, not much does.

I say "chick" all the time. I didn't know that it meant "attractive or young girl". I guess I shouldn't be calling all girls "chicks" then.

It's better than "broad".

I don't really like the term though. Not sure why. I'd rather be called a "bird".

Broad is not cool either.

I don't like it and I despise the term "chick flick".

My grandmother's friends use the word "broad" to describe me and my cousins. They call us "a bunch of silly broads" all the time.

I think chick maybe the politest term for a gal..

In the north of england we get, duck, cow, bitch, slapper, and ho-er..

Nope

no
i have been called a lot...but it all depends on what u respond to

Ive never been called a broad and rarely a chick. I prefer bird, you hear that much more here.

I dont find it offensive.

great minds...

But up in the north it is meant as a friendly term... (lol)

otherwise they would end up with a broken bottle in their face..

(what am I saying - sheesh.. )

Course nobody calls ME that - cos I dont even go out ..

but yeah I have heard the terms.. but its all in jest..

(I think)

IrresistibleB1tch said:

I use the word bitch to describe both men and women.

I also don;t quite like the word "female" used as a noun much either. It's so cold and clinical.

Well in the south its not meant in a friendly way, not really. but its not as strong as slut etc. Its more on a par with tart. But obviously it depends on the context, sometimes friends use it with each other and it's meant in jest when used like that.



are you alright?
