An informal, diminutive term for a woman or girl, carrying a somewhat dated but still-used retro charm — the kind of word that sounds like it came from a 1950s diner or a hardboiled detective novel. 'Chickie' is more affectionate and soft-edged than 'chick', with the diminutive '-ie' suggesting something smaller and more familiar. Also used as a childish term for a baby chick or small chicken, giving the word a double life between playful adult slang and nursery vocabulary.
He leaned across the counter and called her chickie, and she told him to try again with an actual name.
