People also still call their kids "chicken" and eat "chicken dinner", but I've never known anyone to think of it offensively. What does everyone else think?United57 said:Unfortunately the word Chicken has been used by very evil people (Paedophiles) for a number of years. I suggest that you steer clear of it if you can.
Yes I agree it is a shame, chicken is certainly not offensive but the word has been hijacked. If you look at some of the content filtering and associated technology that schools use to keep children safe you will be amazed what words are looked for and their context. I know this company well and they are constantly on their guard like many others in the industry http://www.securus-software.com/index.htmlwmrcomputers said:People also still call their kids "chicken" and eat "chicken dinner", but I've never known anyone to think of it offensively.

Unfortunately chickens really are chickens so it's a bit unavoidable! lol
I agree some is better than others. A lot of people still logon at work!wmrcomputers said:If content filtering software can't distiguish between a website that actually sells and talks about CHICKENS and uses the word in another sense, I wouldn't rate it very well!! If my new site was to be blocked by schools that wouldn't bother me anyway, it's the grown ups at home that I would want the hits from.
Decent content filtering "should" look at the context a word is used in. I don't think that something along the lines of "These chickens can lay up to 300 eggs in their first year" should be booted out, surely?
