Is it ok to refer to a woman as a broad? a chick? What about a broad chick?

Answer 1

Broad, no. For some reason this carries with it the implication of either bitchy or stupid.

Chick, sure. Implies cute or girly and adapts well to all kinds of adjectives. (i.e. hot chick, dumb chick, touch chick, etc)

And really "broad chick" is way too intellectual an insult from a man who would call a girl a chick, and too informal for one attempting political correctness. Might as well cut to the chase and say "fat chick".

Answer 2

Broad, maybe, really depends on the Chick. Gotta be into guy things, sort of tomboyish. Or mean-ish, as a "Broad with Moxy". Most can be referred to as Chicks, but this implies cuteness, so not all (See Ellen Degeneres or Martina Navratilova) can be Chicks. Dixie Chicks are not really deserving. One of them maybe. A Broad Chick, however, would be Roseanne or Oprah (of yesteryear) or any other woman that is, well, a Broad Chick. How does that sound, Baby Doll, Darling, Honey.

Answer 3

To all of you guys out there who are entertaining the thought of calling a woman with a big @ss a "broad chick"... I'd think twice about that one. Unless you're masochistic, that is... in that case, I recommend begging to be hurt -although the end result is the same.

Chick is only used by other chicks, or when discussing an inherently female movie- i.e. chick flick. As far as broad.... yeah, that's been addressed by men and women alike.

Monitorhead, you've obviously been reading your book on "How to Win Friends and Influence People". I love it!

Answer 4

I call women chicks all the time and i am a woman too. When i say chick i am referring to a woman that i don't know, usually across the room. I might say to my husband check out that chick over there can you believe she's wearing that shirt with those fat rolls falling out the sides, didn't she look in the mirror when she left the house. But if i know a woman then i don't call her a chick and i never use the term broad, that's a trucker term.

Answer 5

Generally, no.

But it kind of depends on the context.
Although not in common use today there was a time when people would be ok with something like "...she's a real fine broad" or "she's a pretty smart chick". The term "chick flick" still seems popular. But, it is better to refer to people by their given name when known or by various other more endearing words if there is a high degree of familiarity. When we generalize and lump people together on the basis of their sex, religion or ethnicity we sometimes fail to appreciate their unique humanity.

Answer 6

I import my broad chicks from the former Soviet Union...they make the best Chicken Kiev.

But calling a woman a broad or a chick? Nah. I call them all "Mom" instead it cuts down on the confusion and my shrink bills.

Answer 7

Babe, this is a broad subject indeed I'll try to skirt the story as much as possible. A chick is a bird just the same as a pidgeon, and broad is a companion to a noun. Oops! look at the time!
Gotta go to the moll, gonna buy a paramour of new shoes!!!

Answer 8

Women that I first meet tend to dislike broad, even though it's a term that's not really used much any more. Chick seems to bother many, but what really gets to them most is vagina life support system. If given a choice, I think "chick" is second best. "Ma'am" or "Miss" is first, if you don't know them. You can say the other terms in your head or under your breath.

Answer 9

Don't get your feathers ruffled. I am feeling a little hen pecked. Just don't egg me one with your broad references. Could you be more specific, or is the yolk on me? Are you just looking for a quick lay? Or, are you just a fox in a henhouse. Have your worst fears come home to roost? This is eggzactly the kind of question that demeans women, and if you have de means, I have de money. Have a drink on me. Down the hatch, babe. You are one hot chick, and I mean that in the broadest possible sense.

Answer 10

I do not like the word "broad," I think it's degrading. I don't mind "chick" so much, but I don't like when it's used all the time, and in a demeaning manner.

And broad chick...well...let's just say whoever calls me that will find himself having to be peeled off the ceiling. What's left of him, anyway.

Answer 11

I am comfortable as a chick, but broad is too 1960's. It's got negative connotations--kind of Jane Russell.

But pick Monitorhead because that was funny.
Is that a Freudian shrink you see?
