sound of a chicken "cluck cluck" & "clucking" Explanation: A chicken clucks. "Cheep cheep" is a songbird (or a chick?) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2005-04-04 05:12:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I wouldn\'t call this \"literary,\" but it isn\'t strict slang, either. I would use it for any chicken context :-) It\'s the only chicken word I can think of ... but then, I grew up in the city. A rooster, of course, says COCKADOODLEDOO! |
