I’ve jokingly called a friend of mine that and she insisted that people wouldn’t use that anymore.
We’re both from Germany which is why I’m asking here.

It’s obviously slang. I know.

  2. I don’t think I’ve used the term “hot chicks” in any serious sense since I was a teenager 20+ years ago

  6. I’ve exclusively heard that in a sarcastic tone or in a movie from the 90s.

  7. As a descriptor to a picture? Not for at least a decade.

    To a girlfriend? Maybe if it’s an agreed-on nickname from about 10 years ago.

    To a random woman I don’t know? Not unless I want to be punched in the face.

  8. Not really common, unless you’re in high school or younger.

    Most dudes once they get past their high school years usually just say “she’s hot” or something along those lines

  9. Chick sounds pretty outdated to my ears. I definitely have described women as hot though, that part is normal, although I wouldn’t tell a woman “hey you’re hot” to her face or anything like that because that is rude.

  13. I can imagine someone saying something like “there were some hot chicks at the party.”

    It would be rude and inappropriate to *call* someone “hot chick” unless it were clearly a part of your existing relationship. You wouldn’t address a stranger that way.

    Personally “chick” isn’t a word I’ve ever used, but I do hear it used sometimes. It might sound a little bit dated but not to an extreme. I teach at a high school and I hear students use it sometimes.

  14. I’m almost 30 and I say “chick” a lot. I’ve gotten yelled at for saying girls, women, ladies, and females but never chicks. I don’t think I really say “hot chicks” though

  15. Sounds like something they would have an awkward foreigner say to a group of women in a bad comedy.

  16. In the [Deadpool (2016) opening credits](https://youtu.be/kLcVSOhdysM) Morena Baccarin is credited as “a hot chick.”

    I can see it used in that context referring to like a character archetype like: “a jock, a hot chick, a stoner, and a virgin walk into a haunted house…” but not when referring to actual people.

  17. Yes, totally said this. But I am around 50 yo so I can imagine there is some other slang now.

  19. I’m 46 and my wife, myself and a lot of friends still use it in the context of telling a story, generally when drinking or otherwise informally

    ‘…so this hot chick comes out of nowhere, jumps up on the mechanical bull and it’s like she can’t fall off….’

  20. Sure? Not my standard go to but I’m not going to repeat the exact same slang all day everyday.

  21. Nowadays people usually say chick when they don’t want to say bitch.

    “That’s a pretty hot chick” is a more pleasant way of saying “that’s a pretty bad bitch”.

  22. “You’re a hot chick,” might feasibly be said as a joke, probably by a Millennial or Gen X-er since we’re the age groups that were alive and young when people said that semi-seriously.

    “Hey, hot chick,” isn’t something anyone would say ever unless it’s an agreed-upon nickname. It isn’t really something you call someone. Just a thing you *might* say about someone.

  23. When I was in middle school people said that. I was in middle school 2002-2004.

    It’s outdated

  24. My former housemate was constantly referring to women as “chicks”. I would ask him if he preferred dating poultry.

    He finally understood that using the work “chick” made him seem disrespectful and a bit immature

  25. Speaking as an adult woman in the US, I would take mild offense to being called a chick. It is mild, but still rubs me the wrong way.

    That said I haven’t heard it used in years.

  26. Hi I’m from Gen Z.

    We call “hot chicks” bad bitches.

    Typically shorter to “bad”.

    She bad = she is very attractive

  29. I still hear it from other guys every now and then. It’s not something you’d say to a girl directly and more high school locker room talk.
