Go somewhere public and call a girl a chick, see what happens 😂
Seriously though, it’s not the word that’s the issue, it’s the labelling of someone based on their gender. I can’t speak for the bottom line as I don’t appear to be a woman, but I’d start getting fucked off if a generic term was used to address me when I had a perfectly good name.
In the UK, an equivalent is “bird”. Equally likely to get you booted in the balls.
Yeah, I would advise using against using it today. Like, I said, old timey. Not as acceptable as it might have been in decades past.
I’m middle millennial and consider it flippant at best. Like “chick flicks” and “chick lit” are seen as less serious/valuable/artistic than media intended for men. “Hot chick” as a way to value/devalue a woman on looks alone.
Bitch [a female dog], an unpleasant or disagreeable woman, a man or woman made submissive or subservient, the act of complaining and finally something causing you problems or complications in an annoying way.
Most I can think of at the moment are derogatory.
A “dog” is a person pushing their horniness to inappropriate levels.
A “cow” is someone fat and slow/stupid.
A “shark” is a savvy business person who edges into taking advantage of people unethically.
A “snake” is a liar and a cheat. Sometimes slang for a penis.
Quiet, shy people are “mousy”.
Someone who tattles to cops/authority is a “rat”.
A “chick” is an old-timey term for a girl/woman that might get you slapped.
A “kitty” is a vagina and also may get you slapped depending on context.
Someone messy/dirty is a “pig”. “Pig” might also be used for a man who is rude and pushing sexual innuendos onto women without their consent.
While to “go the whole hog” means to not hild back, to embrace doing a thing completely.
In line with OP’s post:
Fox: someone who is exceptionally attractive.
Porcine slang is quite versatile in English!
Pig: someone unkempt or otherwise undesirable.
Pig: an officer of the law.
Hog: to keep all or most of something to oneself.
Hog: a motorcycle, specifically a Harley Davidson or Indian Motorcycles style bike, rather than a sport-bike
Hog: I’m jorkin it right now, and by it, let’s just say…
Swine: a relatively outdated generic insult (ex “you uncultured swine”)
Pig-out: to engage in excess, to act as a glutton.
Why would chick get you slapped? Growing up that just meant girl. No connotations
Lots of things get you slapped now that wouldn’t a couple decades ago.
But honestly probably should have gotten you slapped.
Chick is a very belittling term for a woman.

It feels kinda like you’re objectifying them. Really depends who you use it with though, like all words.
