What does "chick" mean in slang?
The term "chick" is informal slang for a young woman. The structure comes from "chicken," originally used in a diminutive or casual sense, but it has evolved into a general label for women. It is widely considered informal and can be neutral in some contexts, but it often sounds disrespectful or objectifying depending on tone and setting.
Examples
