Yeah, this was one of the earliest undeniable food code confirmations we found -- he calls her a piece of chicken, just like Alefantis' Instagram # Chickenlover pics.

This is not code at all. It's a metaphor. Chicken Hawks are predators and prey on chickens. This is slang going back decades.

It's more similar to a stool pigeon or a canary. It's not coded, but widely known.

It's also not food related. Chicken as in cow, not chicken as in beef. Chickenhawks are not working the poultry aisle.

A chick, of course, has been slang for a girl forever.

They have distinct meanings.

separate meanings that overlap, like a Venn diagram!

they do not.

Tell me how the Peace symbol is a metaphor.
