A baby chicken that is yellow and fluffy and says 'peep.'
This word comes from the sound baby chickens make.
A chick is like a little yellow cotton ball with tiny legs and a beak! They're baby chickens that say 'peep, peep' and love to follow their mama around the farm, just like how you might follow your grown-ups around.
Emerged as slang for young women in mid-20th century, infantilizing and trivializing adult females. Origins in diminishing language parallel to 'girl' used for grown women.
Use 'woman', 'young woman', or the person's name. Reserve 'chick' for baby birds.
["woman","young woman","person"]
