Getting chicked – when a guy is passed, beaten, overtaken, or in some way bettered by a gal. Typically overheard in competitive sports like running and cycling, as in “I was chicked 500m from the finish line”. Perhaps I should be offended by the term, but it is difficult to be righteously indignant as I celebrate my latest chicking.
Happy birthday Roger Hargreaves*.

Love it – the post, the iconic reference, the blog. Thanks for the comment and the follow. I’m about to blogroll you; hope you’re happy to do the same back.

I can’t believe that I have never heard that phrase, but it’s pretty cool.
Great blog–added to my growing blogroll.
I think there is need for a term for getting passed by a costumed runner.
In the London Marathon, that would be “being rhinoed”
Ha! This made my morning.
It happens to me so often I’ve learned to love it.
“it” = the view?
