Default They called me a \"bird\"

After winning some hands, they called me a bird. Then typing chirp, chirp. Does this mean anything? Or am I playing one of the short bus players?

Were you bragging or something similar after winning?

"Chirping chips" usually refers to the chips that a player has won which seem to make him more "chatty", but I have never come across the term "Bird".

I have no idea why you were called this. Possibly some inside joke from earlier in the session or they were all on drugs.

Regards,

Its better than having them call you a fish and having them type "glub" "glub" in the chat box.

No clue. I've heard the term in reference to a girl or woman, but not in this context. I am dumbfounded. Coulda been worse though. Sorry, i'm no help.

Bird is equivalent to fish, ie bird brain. At my local B&M casino when someone chases a less than stellar draw they will
invariably get the comment, "Bird where are you going?" as the
the other guy is pulling in the pot.

Maybe they think you're a pale chick with crooked teeth.
