minus-squareSmuuthbrane@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoBees have a stinger, and “bird” has been a slang term for a woman (like, what, 1920-1950s?). Regards, I agree that’s needlessly vague, and just about to the point of useless.

minus-squareSmuuthbrane@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoFine, Bs represent bra size so that’s the women’s room, and a cock is a bird, so that’s the men’s room. Any way you slice it, these signs don’t help.

minus-squareBob@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoOdd that so many people are coming out the woodwork to say they didn’t know Britons fairly often call women birds.
minus-squarechatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoI’ve heard dame used more often than bird myself. Honestly, not sure I’ve actually heard bird used… it’s like a vague sense of “I think I knew that… right?” and my brain shrugs back.
