chick
Newly hatched bird
A chick is a young bird, especially a newly hatched chicken.
The word extends affectionately to young children.
In informal usage, chick means a young woman: Some chick called for you.
This sense ranges from neutral to mildly sexist depending on context and speaker—women sometimes use it casually among themselves, while men using it may sound dismissive.
