+193 It's funny how we sugar coat terms like cow and pig when it comes to food but chicken stays the same and people are OK with it, amirite?

I've heard that the origin of that was in old french courts. The royalty would use the french word (which we've translated to "beef" and "pork") and the lowly servants (who were not usually french speakers) would use the words for the animal ("cow" and "pig"). Guess they didn't eat chicken!
