Flipping the bird! Yes indeed I have become familiar with that term thanks to Eminem lol. But here's an interesting fact to why we in UK commonly refer to woman as 'Birds': It comes from an old middle England word ‘burde’ which basically was a common term for maidens / young ladies up to middle aged, Then older ladies were called 'seldom' (the info goes deeper but that's the gest).

But we'd also say dense, which isn't associated with stubborn at all, but is the equivalent to 'thick'.

[@mramisuzuki6962]

Yea calling women “birds” was very much a thing in the US and Canada, but it was replaced by Dame and Chick, then Babe and Spanglished to Chica, then the slough of black slang names that have randomly made it to the mainstream. You’re left with pretty much Babe, Chick/Chica, Shorty, and Dime as your go to non-derogatory nicknames.

[@jmaz0444]

Bird is still very commonly used in the Uk especially the north of England also chick and hen, bird is kind of derogatory in my opinion since it’s what men say to women also it can be slang for girlfriend “how’s your bird” that sentence right there makes me want to off myself. Chick and hen on the other hand are not derogatory since it’s what women usually say to each other or to children gives me sweet older woman vibes

The Monkees did a song (after a tour of Britain, I guess), titled "Randy Scouse Git". Had to be re-titled for the overseas pressing of the album, I heard.

In the US we say "get it through your thick skull" so maybe we kinda use it in a similar way.

OMG, you keep making me aware of how old I am. And I'm not that old. As an American, randy for horny and thick for dumb are a regular part of my vocabulary. Actually, spunk too for that other stuff too.

What's funny is that 'scum' and 'scumbag' are now mild derogatory terms, but back in the day meant what 'spunk' to the British and 'rubber' to Americans mean now, respectively.

It's funny I have heard girls get called "bird" here in a few places like "Don't mess with her, she's a bird" based off another slang meaning "She's for the birds" which means she is the adventurous type that likes to fornicate with a bunch of people I think its more rare to hear that now. Nowadays in the U.S it's more common to hear "She belongs to the streets" As far as "thick" goes as to meaning dumb, I do hear over here people saying "thick-headed" in that sense if you are trying to call someone dumb Or "hard-headed" in the same sense. It basically is more catered to someone just not learning their lesson the first time and continue to make the same dumb decisions over and over like "Are you just not getting this through your thick skull???"

[@bobmoor8519]

"for the birds" does not mean loose or "sleeps around" For the birds = Trivial; worthless; only of interest to gullible people. This phrase is of American origin and, while still in use there, has never been commonly used elsewhere. It is US Army slang and originated towards the end of WWII. The saying comes from the habit of some birds of pecking at horse droppings in order to find seeds.

0:28 There was a misheard lyric of Manfred Man Earth Band, Blinded By The Light, "revved up like a deuce" gets misheard as "rapped up like a douche" but the next line also can be misheard as "another rubber in the night" instead of "another runner in the night".
