yeah, but she was referring to "bird", not chicken. thats too
generic. there are several birds that have slang
references:
owl: a night person, as in night owl. dodo: dummy. dove:
anti-war advocate. hawk: war advocate. turkey: dummy.
gonna float the boat, boys and girls! wahoo! spend the night
on the lake.
