Moan coming.... I personally think that a man being called a pickpocket is a way better than a woman being called a prostitute!

But it’s ridiculous getting all pc about a word whose connotation as an insult was 200 years ago. I’d imagine hardly anybody sees bird as an insult - apart, maybe, from the knit your own yoghurt brigade. It’s no different to calling someone a berk now when it’s derivation is slang for cunt

Nobody is getting PC about anything, I just think its a bit of a very old slang term that I personally haven't heard used in about 20 years. But it is a bit off calling someone a bird without knowing the origins, thats like calling a bloke a nonce without knowing the origins of that word. And TBF cunt is more socially accepted than calling someone a prostitute. Also I haven't heard anyone call somebody a berk since the 70s! and everyone with any intelligence knows thats rhyming slang anyway.
