Indeed, a bird. Not a name for a human.

Robin is another bird though, and a unisex name.

Good try there

pointydog · 29/04/2009 22:49

It's a chaffy name

Swedes · 29/04/2009 22:53

I think it's a blended name for twins. Chaf for a girl (it's short for Chaffy-Thighs which she would use for her wedding day and other formal occasions) and Finch for a boy. Normally shortened to FinchEEE.

SK1980 · 29/04/2009 23:48

wtf! chav-inch?

OutOfThinHair · 29/04/2009 23:54

Who cares? It's silly.

ipanemagirl · 30/04/2009 00:17

a guy I used to work with called his penis his "half-inch chaffinch" and I can't forget that.

It's a bird or a willy to me.

No no no no no....

Aw shame, did he have a very dinky pecker?

OutOfThinHair · 30/04/2009 00:24

ipanemagirl, did you see it? Was it yellow? Did it chirp? Or did he take it down mines to see if it went limp? Oh wait, wrong species of ornithological creature...

ipanemagirl · 30/04/2009 00:28

I never saw his haffinch chaffinch! We were mates! I never wanted to touch his tufted crested little minority!!!!

OutOfThinHair · 30/04/2009 00:31

Yeah, yeah, mates you say... but you knew his "pet" name for it? Did he talk about your peacock plumage with your other colleagues?

ipanemagirl · 30/04/2009 00:34

he talked about his haffinch chaffinch all the time to EVERYONE he was obsessed but hilarious! too short for me though, bless him and too much of a gym bunny!
