What is Dixie Chick means in English?
 

I keep heard this from someone in this forum, from TV, from radio and some where

but no idear what is Dixie Chick means:confused: :confused: :confused:

English is still my 6th languages , so please explain to me what is Dixie chick means???

I checked the dictionary I understand the Dixie means it said, "A region of the southern and eastern United States, usually comprising the states that joined the Confederacy during the Civil War. The term was popularized in the minstrel song “Dixie's Land,” written by Daniel D. Emmett (1815-1904) in 1859."

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Exactly so. So these chicks, or girls/women, are from Dixie, or the American South. Three girls from Dixie - 3 Dixie Chicks.

Another common expression for women from the American South is Southern Belles, but for the name of a singing group, I'm sure that one had been taken.

They're what Flo used to tell everyone to kiss once per episode on Alice. ;)

(Comedy series set in a diner for those who don't know/remember - and by the way, the characters on the robot diner waitress in Star Wars Episode II were F L O).
