The nicest way to refer to any female. Used respectfully like this in Australia. A completely non-derrogatory comment, that in general (most chick's I've talked to) is non-offensive to women and better than most alternative's.

n. A girl.

Chick is not necessarily derogatory, however many women find it offensive because of its flippant nature.

n. girl, woman
Actually a non-derogatory slang term for the word girl. This word was probably a spanglish derivative from the spanish word "chica" meaning, of all things, girl.

Just another slang for girl or woman.

A loose term used to describe a girl, usually a cute girl. Rarely ever used to describe a baby chicken. A baby chicken is just... a baby chicken. So, Chick=(cute)girl.

*A beautiful woman.
*Any type of woman.

Chick is slang for female and implies youth and beauty. You wouldn't call your grand mother a chick unless you were joking.

This word is in no way meant to offend or be disrespectful towards women, although many woman ignorant feminist woman do take offence.
