An
unintelligent,
but tasty,
flightless bird known for having the ability to
run around for a while without its
head. To find some good examples of chicken go to one of these establishments:

Chicken is also a
dangerous game involving two
cars. The two cars drive straight
toward each other. Whichever car
steers out of the way first
loses! If neither car
veers from the path, both
drivers lose because their cars and bodies get all
wrecked up.
Exciting!Some
kids also
play this
game with a train. The kid stands on
railroad tracks facing an oncoming train. A
train can't change its path, so it's up to the kid to jump out of the way. The kid loses if he gets
hit by the train or if he
jumps out of the way
too early for his
peers' liking.
A
bad guy from the
Game Boy game
Super Mario Land. It's a
helmet-wearing war
bird that flies suddenly towards Mario when it gets
near his
Sky Pop. It's playing chicken with Mario.
Chicken is also
slang for a
coward. If someone is too
scared to do something like, for instance, play chicken, then his peers may call him a
chicken. Oftentimes these peers will continue to
chant and
sing and announce that the coward is a chicken (and even throw in some chicken sounds) until the coward changes his mind and performs the dangerous deed.
People who like to lift up their shirts and
show you their
pot belly are showing you their chicken. It's a
bashful chicken. It always seems to be
turned around.
