I've been going around saying "those birds" to try to cover a bit of ignorance. (It's better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!)
Now, as long as I don't ever have any of the "Dee Uncles"... I'll be alright!
LOL Cochins. That's the biggest joke with me and my friend. A non chicken person saw a partridge cochin and pronounced it "Pay-tridge caw-chin." For some reason that just totally sounded like an STD to me, and now every time we see each other we say some dumb joke like "Wow, that's the worst case pay-tridge caw-chins disease I've ever seen," or "Did you pass the PCD test?" LOL
