that's chickin

"That's chickin" is a slang phrase used to express approval for something that is neither chill nor kickin' but somewhere in between. "Chickin" lies smack in the middle of that spectrum. It's a lukewarm phrase never to be followed with an exclamation point or too much enthusiasm in the voice.

Kristina: I have to work overtime tonight.
Me: That's chickin'.

Me: I just bought a new pack of Mr. Sniff smelly markers.
Kristina: That's chickin'.

that's a different bucket of chicken

An expression used to explain two seemingly similar things that are actually two different things all together.

Fried chicken recipes are numerous, and almost common in all cultures, but quite unique from one another. KFC, a common chain globally dealing in fried chicken, buckets chicken.

Sometimes you want extra tasty crispy, but the bucket is actually original blend. You'd want to know that's a different bucket of chicken before diving in.

Using this same thought process, we can make an analogous comparison to other seemingly similar things that might actually be quite different entirely.

You like star wars right? You hear there's a new star trek movie coming out? I mean, yea, but that's a different bucket of chicken my man.
