(North America) A mother who prefers a style of parenting that utilises modern technology and parenting conveniences, such as modern medicine, infant formula and disposable diapers; contrasts a crunchy mom.
A playful variant of 'crunchy mom' — internet shorthand for a mother who embraces natural, holistic, and often attachment-based parenting approaches: think breastfeeding, babywearing, homeschooling, essential oils, and avoiding mainstream medicine. The 'scrunchy' version is a blend between 'silky' (conventional, mainstream parenting) and 'crunchy', suggesting a mom who picks and chooses her battles rather than going full granola. The terms are mostly self-applied with humour in online parenting communities.
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.
