Why did the chicken cross the road?

[Thorax]

I feel like I've known this all along, but never allowed my consciousness to know till now.

[Nymethus]

no it means to get to the other side of the road.
its some early sarcasm/irony

the joke is "well wtf did you think he was crossing for?"

that makes more sense

that's not a chicken though

[Electrk]

that's not a chicken though

it is

[Nymethus]

it is

no it isn't

well OK, it isn't in Swedish... I'm gonna look these words up

[Electrk]

no it isn't

yes it is

[Nymethus]

well I disagree with it! "chicken" should only mean chickens, not the hens and roosters.
Substantiv
chicken
    (fåglar) kyckling; ung fågel av hönsfågel
    (fåglar) (tam)höns; fågel i familjen hönsfåglar

no seriously in Swedish a chicken is only the chickens and not the other guys, which makes more sense

[Electrk]

No, chicken is for roosters AND hens.

[Nymethus]

No, chicken is for roosters AND hens.

that doesn't make much sense though. which is my point here.
I guess I'm sorry for having a language the makes more sense

[Electrk]

How does it not loving make sense?
There's hen, which is female chicken.
There's rooster, which is male chicken.
Chicken is for both of them, it makes perfect sense.

[Nymethus]

no because the chicken is the chicken. you know, chickens? the little ones?

[Electrk]

A chicken can refer to male or female

[Nymethus]

I say

no seriously in Swedish a chicken is only the chickens and not the other guys, which makes more sense

and you link me to wikipedia. oh that's alright then.

just because something is in a certain way doesn't mean it automatically makes sense.

[Electrk]

Oh okay, well in English it's male and female
Different languages I guess
