nobody here but us chickens

1) a sarcastic answer implying "who else would be here?" or "just the regular crowd"

2) could be used to hide someone there who should not be

source: originally from a fable involving a chicken thief (possibly a fox) hiding in the hen house and answering the farmer's question of who's making all the noise.

Also made popular by a 40's song of the same name by Louis Jordan.
Dad (coming home from work): Anybody home?
Older Daughter (in bedroom): Nobody here but us chickens! (implying herself and her sister, but is actually herself and her boyfriend, who should have gone home already)

Chirken, not to be mistaken for chicken, is a delectable trio of meats: Chicken, turkey and beef. Traditionaly made in cube form, but in modern practice is made in Swedish meatball form. Originally made in 2015 by three third graders. Chirken day is nationally celebrated by many. On May 6th it is traditionally practiced that you should make this concoction. The staple ingredient to accurately depict the original mixture is Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce.
Let’s make some chirken this weekend!”
