My DS is adamant that bird is the word.

I disagree and am certain that it is, in fact, Grease that’s the word.

Who is right?

Or perhaps we’re both wrong and something else is the word?

Grease is definitely the word, there's no other words except grease

My house at school was Baird. Before sports day one year our head of house played us Bird is the Word and tried to convince us it was Baird is the Word to gee us up. It was unconvincing.

@MrsRobbieHart, you need to point out that no matter what his point of view, Grease was (and therefore still is) the original word - all others are a 'cover version'.

I think, if you wave your hands in the air like you don’t care, you’ll find the word is .

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was "hey you!".

This is the Word...

Watched the video posted upthread and baby started kicking! So I think he thinks bird is the word!!! Although grease is the word..... but I enjoyed my wee boogie to surfin bird hehe!!

EekGoesTheBaby · 24/09/2021 22:51

OP, I'm sorry you found out this way that the bird is THE word. Grease is more like the time, the place, the motion, the way we are feeling, etc. Big difference.

TheDogsMother · 24/09/2021 22:52

Noooooo how could you do this ? It's taken me years to get Peter Griffin's Bird is the Word out of my head.

TheDogsMother · 24/09/2021 22:53

Surely bird is A word, but Greece is THE word? Or have I been wrong about the lyrics all these years?!

Brollywasntneededafterall · 25/09/2021 08:15

Actually Greece is a country...

I'm afraid everyone knows the bird is the word.

Sorry OP

escapisum101 · 25/09/2021 09:20

Grease is the word???

The bird is most certainly the word...

SantanaBinLorry · 25/09/2021 09:26

Of course Grease is the word.... and also the time and the place and the motion!

CraftMaker · 25/09/2021 09:30

I was a BIG fan of The Cramps. For that reason, I agree with your DS: the bird is the word.

BikeRunSki · 25/09/2021 09:32

Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling

Also the word
