Eldergays can you explain the term "chicken"

I think it means the same thing as "twink" means now, but I'm not entirely certain. Where did it come from?

I guess being a "youngergay" means being stupid and needing to have EVERYTHING explained to them.

The term is Chicken Hawk. It refers to a bigger smarter older man who preys on naive stupid younger men to get sex. In other words, "Easy Prey".

But no one refers to gaylings as "Chickens".

Son, I say, Son, a chicken is a gayling, I say, a gayling, to us elders, Son.

A chicken grows up to become a hen or a cock. What is wrong with you? Why can’t you understand this?

A lot of you sure are angry on this Christmas Eve. I just asked a simple question. Why Google something, when we have a ton of people here with first hand knowledge.

I was told it meant "twink" back in the 1990s.

But I don't know anyone who ever said it.

"Chickenhawk" is a term you'll come across, however.

Plucked chicken = young man with no body hair.

Not “a chicken,” just “chicken.” But, yes, it was certainly a term that was used at one time. The last time I heard it (or “chickenhawk) was probably 20 years ago and I think it was kind of an old, somewhat outdated term even then.

It was common in the UK until the early 2000s, then the proliferation of American porn saw it replaced by twink.

Chicken meant young but legal age, spring chicken was underage, and chickenhawks were the men that prey on them.

Chicken could include twinks, but I always thought it also meant high school age.

R13 seems to have a different take and it sounds as good to me as any.

Poultry is the preferred term now.

When I came out in the early 70s it meant young and often implied underage. But the meaning changed a little over the years and as mentioned above I haven't heard anyone use it in that sense for the past 20 years if not more.

Maybe we should start a thread about dead gay slang. It's been years since I've heard anyone say "straight trade."

"Today's trade is tomorrow's competition."

"Chicken" is considered offensive, OP. The correct term is "feathered person".

by Anonymousreply 18December 25, 2020 4:55 AM

Chickens are the chicks at a party that scrounge around for dick. Near the end of the party they all come out pecking at the ground for loose penis while they beak off at eachother.

by Anonymousreply 19December 25, 2020 5:43 AM

It meant "underage" not twink.

by Anonymousreply 20December 25, 2020 6:21 AM

Wrong, r3.

I read in some gay slang book 30 years old that “chicken” meant “twink.”

And just by inference to “chickenhawk,” one could use “chicken” to refer to twinks properly.

The problem is, nobody I talk to ever uses it. I think it was a Boomer term or earlier.

I started going out to gay bars in 1988 at the age of 18, and I was most definitely called "chicken."

I remember one night in particular when a gaggle of old queens sang the jingle to "Chicken Tonight" cooking sauce whenever I'd walk by.

Ladies, ladies! Let's refer this debate to the actual FORENSIC EXPERT in this field of study.

Pls kindly email all questions to Brian S. and don't forget to cc' in your local council N*MBL* representative - those sage gentlemen have accumulated the most knowledge in the field to clarify this semantic confusion!

I assume at one time it did mean underage. If you watch Sleepaway Camp the pervy cook stares lustfully at all the incoming kid/teen campers and says "Look at all that fresh, young chicken." And he was after the female campers so I don't think it was strictly a gay term, although with all the gay subtext in that movie maybe it just slipped through in the script.

You know the guy who starts all the eldergay threads is over 60, right?

He's a Datalounge troll that's been here since forever. He's completely racist and he's pissed off that he can't get away with the shit he used to.

Also posted like a 30 year old picture of himself here like it was a contemporary picture. You know, like nothing has changed since the 80s.

The hairstyle.

The clothes.

And he wasn't aging well, even then.

And that was like ten years ago.

So he's like ELDER eldergay.

I bet you anything, he's another" I'm 50 (lie) but people tell me I look 20!" (Hallucination/other mental problems?)
