could s.o. add a reference to s.th. like "slang terms for girl/woman"?

-- I'll second that suggestion - it is obviously strange to mention "chick lit" and "Dixie Chicks", but omit the meaning "young girl/woman". And there's another question - etymology of this word: does it derive from "chicken", or from "shiksa"? 83.149.49.218 (talk) 02:49, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

[edit]

Above, anon suggested 'chick' might come from 'shiksa' (whatever that is). I wanted to suggest it might come from Spanish 'chica'. Alas, the Spanish Wikipedia doesn't have an article on 'chick', nor even on 'chica'. DirkvdM (talk) 10:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism concerns

[edit]

I am suspecting that there is constant vandalism on this page, based on the edit history. Should this page be semi-protected? Epic Genius 01:32, 26 February 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Epicgenius (talkcontribs)
