I agree!

Agreed. Then you can use Giant for any of the very large breeds.

No, Giants are a particular breed. They are standardized in Black, White & Blue.

Agreed. Whoever came up with Giant Cochins anyway...lol They are Large Fowl just like the rest of them.​

Totally agreed. Standard simply means the birds are judged to a 'standard'.

Ahhhh... This does make some sense!

So, actually "Standard" is the old fashioned term.

That's what I was referring too. Keep "Giant" for the ones that are actually Giant.
