chicken head n. in skiing and other snow-based sports, a small chunk of frozen snow; in climbing, a small, round protrusion on a rock face. Editorial Note: A common but unrelated general meaning of chicken head is “a loose or immoral woman, especially one who performs sexual favors in exchange for drugs, money, or gifts” but usage varies greatly and those who use the term disagree on its specific meanings. The Historical Dictionary of American Slang includes an entry that dates another meaning—”a dolt”—back to 1906. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
