Chickenhead (sexual slang)

For other uses, see chickenhead.

Chickenhead is a slang term for someone who performs fellatio. The term originated in African-American sexual slang and gained popularity through use in hip-hop, notably the 2001 single Chickenhead by Project Pat.

The term and similar descriptions of women have been discussed in academic circles, particularly third wave feminism.
