OT to the sad boat story, but kind of related to the 'baby' sub-thread is the etymology of 'chick' which is so prevalent now and might be of interest to some.

Years ago in Ireland (Dublin really) and then England, women were known as birds. Young women then became known as chicks. New Flight Attendants on Aer Lingus were called chicks too.

Bird never really made it across the Atlantic, but chick surely has.
