i call them hoes.

NAT

although a lot of girls refer to men as 'guys' or 'blokes'

i'm quite happy with referring to them as the ladies or lasses.

"Chick" came from the Spanish "chica" which describes an attractive young woman. "Bird" is a natural consequence of "chick".

Truth, or bluff?

Few people still say 'chicks'. Birds is used about as much as 'bloke' is for men.

Mostly for slang though, I try and avoid it in case some girls see it as offensive.

technical reason? I've always thought it may have something to do with the fact women technically have eggs involved in their reproductive system, much like birds...

I doubt the intellectual level of most people who use the term 'bird' is high enough to figure that one out!

Personally I don't But sometimes I have been know to call them fillies or bints. I suppose its just affectionate slang, and I would be very carefull who i used that with as well, I dont fancy a good slap, it hurts.

Actually Chica does translate to girl in spanish just as Fille translates to girl in french. Other interesting translations are:

Garota: Portugese
Flicka: Swedish
Ragazza: Itallian
