Correction to the "Oh, Arnie" post

It has been brought to my attention by an alert chicken reader that the term "chick" (when referring to chickens) IS actually derogatory.
 
Apparently, fowl do not appreciate having the same moniker as women as they feel it imposes a pansy-like image upon chicken kind.
 
You see, it could devolve into comments that a bird "throws like a girl" or even "cries like a girl." From there, it's a slippery slope to the utmost insult that they giggle and/or blush like "schoolgirls."
 
Before you know it, all manner of poultry might actually be respected less than women. You see the dire situation, I'm sure.
