HAHAH finally i know something you don't, this is a day to mark with a white stone. The Norman french word is "poulet", meaning a young hen, which became the (now archaic) 'pullet'. The anglo word was 'chiken'

Of course you see the same pattern, with the delicious young hen getting the french word while the people actually raising them call it chicken. It's fallen out of use as people don't raise their own chickens for meat much, so the specific word for "chicken to eat" is lsot
