CHICKADEE

The term of endearment for a girl
Now dated slang and rarely heard
But around any lady it could swirl
Not so much the cute winter bird
But for some, a patronising word

LOL Howard. I remember many "patronising" words that I now view differently. I think it depends on who is using the words, and the context. Nicely done! :)
