My wife loves that movie. I have to admit, it’s a fun bit of silliness.


I’ve always wondered if the American slang word ”chick” is related to the British slang word “bird”.

Thank you WobblyJoe. I thought most women wouldn’t like it. So it’s true.

yes ScienceBoy, you are right. Most women here hate being called chicks. We do it anyway but not generally when women are around. It’s bro slang, not for the office or generally mixed company unless you know the women who hear you don’t care. It was common slang 40 yrs ago but is still heard among guys, generally to refer to dateable women they don’t know, like in the example.
