[Ads-l] RES: fines for saying "you guys" to mixed groups?

[Benjamin Barrett]

On a whim, I Googled for "dick chaser." Among the hits:

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bg/mybitches.html
"My Bitches"
(feat. Bullet, Juvenile)

====
You a dick chaser
Just the way I like y'all bitches
=====

Warning: The lyrics are extremely vulgar and the page caused Firefox to 
crash.

Urban Dictionary also has an entry.

Just a FWIW as this word is in no way as widespread as "skirt-chaser."
