Watching men's moguls in the Olympics sis asked why they all do that "chicken thing" at the end of the run. After some prodding I got her to explain she thought it looked like in water skiing when you lean over and make the water rush up. She had the right animal at least as I can see how stopping at the end of the run makes snow spray like a "rooster tail"! Hence her memory of the "chicken thangie" and her insistence I should know exactly what she meant, "You know this mom. Come on! Dad does it. Bill does. You know the thing with the chicken with the thing."
