Camel Toe

We reserved this post for the late hours of the day. Camel Toe is a reference to the visual similarity in appearance to the two toes of a camel's hoof.
Cameltoe is slang for a fashion faux pas caused by women wearing snug pants; the term suggests a visual analogy.

A Cow's Lick Yields a Cowlick

     A cowlick is a section of hair that stands straight up or lies at an angle at odds with the style in which the rest of an individual's hair is worn. Cowlicks appear when the growth direction of the hair forms a spiral pattern. The term "cowlick" originates from the domestic bovine's habit of licking its young, which results in a swirling pattern in the hair. The most common site of a human cowlick is in the crown, but they can show up anywhere. They also sometimes appear in the front and back of the head.
      The term cowlick dates from the late 16th century, when Richard Haydocke used it in his translation of Lomazzo: "The lockes or plaine feakes of haire called cow-lickes, are made turning upwards."

Church's Chicken

     We've all heard of church's chicken but this takes the cake! A congregation in Florida isn't happy about pictures of its chapel making the Internet rounds this week for an unholy reason: the building looks like a chicken.
      The "Chicken Church" -- also known as Church by the Sea in Madeira Beach -- went viral when a photographer noticed that, from just the right angle, the structure's round windows look like eyes and its roofing tiles resemble wings and a beak. Tourists, reportedly by the hundreds, now line up to take pictures of the visage.
      Dee Dee Parker, a longtime member of the church, told the Daily Mail that the Resemblance is "funny" and she welcomes the newfound popularity. But church employees interviewed by The Huffington Post disagree.
"We're not fond of it being called the 'Chicken Church,'" an employee, who asked not to be named, told HuffPost Weird News. "It's attracting people to us for all the wrong reasons. I don't think they're attracted to come in and worship, I think they're making fun of it."
She said that chapel, built in 1944, was not designed to look like a baby chicken.
     Here is the google map link if you want to see the chicken for yourself:
