Why did the chicken cross the road? To read the Signpost on the other side! Then she came upon the final image of the semi-cremated corpse, took the red pill, and awoke to reality. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:10, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You're pretty funny Randy Kryn. So what dipping sauce do you like to order with your chicken-Mcnuggets? Barbara (WVS) ✐   ✉  13:36, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The hot sauce from back in the day. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:02, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

So really, what goes thru your head when someone yells at you, →"C H I C K E N !"?  Paine Ellsworth  put'r there  15:00, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I think it means that they think you are afraid? Do we have an article yet on this English idiom? Barbara (WVS) ✐   ✉  13:36, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, Barbara (WVS), it could mean they think you are afraid, although it depends on the context. In a restaurant it may mean that supper's ready, and some people have taken "Chicken" as a nickname. Also, it might just be someone pushing your buttons. If someone yells "Chicken" at you, it might upset you, which is exactly what the manipulating button pusher is trying to do – to upset you. As for related articles, there are Chicken (coward) and Chickenshit, and probably more articles if one All pages with titles beginning with Chicken, such as Chicken Joke (note the "Duck Joke" on that page). Be well.  Paine Ellsworth   put'r there  13:23, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Nice comment, . I didn't find Yellow stripe down the back, either. Perhaps we need an Idiom-pedia. I know English has uncountable idioms and we have a multitude of them here in Pittsburgh. Guess what "Kennywood's open" means here. There is an amusement park here called Kennywood, but the idiom really isn't really about the park. Also in Haitian kreyol there aren't idioms, there are proverbs that folks quote as idioms. A language learner like myself has difficulty even distinguishing idioms from non-idioms and a reference work on idioms might be helpful.
