I told you before, it's like Winnie THUH Pooh! Don't you remember your Pooh lore? The conversation where Christopher Robin says he thought Winnie was a girl's name and Pooh patiently explains that it's Winnie THE Pooh, which makes all the difference.

(Er--I learned on this forum that to Brits, the word guy is a bit pejorative. In case you are also of that mindset, let me hasten to say that I meant it only to denote a male.)

'Guy' is not a pejorative to Australians. Though, like Brits, we tend to use 'bloke' instead. Guy is more American. But we understand American, even though they don't understand Aussie.

As to chickens; no, they don't make good pets in the sense of companionship. My relatives on the farm in Tennessee had a henhouse; they'd let Uncle Bennett reach right under them to get their eggs. Not so for me! They'd all scramble off their nests when I opened the door.

Chickens tend to like to have one person they regard as their keeper and whom they trust. They will often run away from anyone else. Usually it is the person who feeds them.
