echineko 1 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Please tell me - is this word "chicks" a derogatory (?) one when man talking about women? I heard it and also remember song with it in the lyric. Arigato! Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 It's not derogatory, but possibly slightly condescending. If that makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I do, but usually just with my mates Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I think it's OK but it depends on how it's used. EG. "She's a cool chick" --sounds kind of down-to-earth and ... cool. But when guys talk about picking up chicks, then it sounds a little derogatory probably. Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 But it's mostly blokes who've chipped in so far. We'll have to see what the chicks say. Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I think it'a quite harmless myself and almost funny. And I'm happy to be a chick rather than a different kind of animal! Link to post Share on other sites

spook 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 i don't think chicks is a derogatory term. i use it all the time. but then i also use words like "sick" and "gnarly", so maybe i'm not the best judge Link to post Share on other sites

Mantas 3 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I call my daughter a rat, but that's because she is a skinny little runt with no front teeth that scurries around the house getting into things that she shouldn't. Link to post Share on other sites
