Hi kimiik,

There you go. I'm a little surprised, as 小鸡 can have other connotations.

I want a lesson about Graceland!

Thank you Pete,

Speaking of 小鸡 and all its associated connotations, in a futur culture class it would be a good idea to explain what's 老鹰抓小鸡 (the eagle catchs the little chicken) as a typical chinese group game and why when expat men have fun in chinese night-clubs it's also described as "老英"抓小鸡. Let's also explain who or what represents the hen in this last case.

This game is also called 捉小鸡 (zhuō xiǎojī) :

Children's game in which a bigger child protects smaller ones from an attacking “eagle”
