      And chicks, I believe, is a politically incorrect term for people with two X chromosomes.

    Chic was yiddish for friend as in boy chik

    over the years it has morphed to be female in gender and the friend part is gone and now intimates a good looking woman

    Can't even find references to the original anymore!

    Just to be clear, after living in Southern California my entire life....dude definitely refers to a man, as does bro. Chick, chica etc is used for a girl/woman.

    Ok, end of rant lol.

        I worked in a southwestern restaurant and was referred to as "the gringa"


        Ok, I had to read that a couple of times, but yes - it looks like someone is trying to "help" people by showing them how vulnerable their forums are before they get smacked.
