    Slang for women is “chicks” and a bit more archaic, “birds” too.

    Bees have a…stinger? Dunno about that one.

    Find a member of staff and ask where the “human bathrooms” are. Don’t let them leave until they explain. Bonus points if you piss your pants while they are trying to explain.

            Kinda. But it gets fucking crazy. Mr Garrison gets surgery to be trans fem. Kyle gets taller, black skin, and Mr Garrison’s testicles as his new knees. Gerald becomes a dolphin. It’s all over the place.

            Matt and Trey use the writing technique of “but, therefore” which leads to very insane story threads (with their ribald thinking)

    Bees 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.

              Interesting. I didn’t know the words origins. I’ve always considered it alongside the classic English tradition of referring to women as various animals.

                This isnt a uniquely female experience. Men commonly refer to their friends as “dog”. Also, in the gay community, men’s body types are equated to animals such as “bear,” “otter,” and “cub”.

        Fine, 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.

        I’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.

    Women are Bees. Men are Birds. Arrhenotoky OP.

    Of the 60,000 bees in a hive, almost 99% of them are female! Female honey bees, or worker bees, make all of the decisions in the hive and do all of the work. There are a couple hundred male bees in a hive, but they don’t do much but sit around and eat food.

        Both can be pollinators. Both can tend to their eggs/young. As a non-native speaker, the phrase never made sense to me.
