On a sad note, that ChickenLicken add with Big Jo going to discover Europe has been banned over here.
I thought it was one of the best adds of the year,

I suspect that this is a case of convergent evolution. The Dutch or Afrikaans is derived from the term Krampf or cramp. The Yiddish comes from the German Klemme, which has two meanings - a jam or a bind, or (as in woodworking) a clamp.

Some philologists favor the Out of Asia theory for this pair of terms being cognate. The leading hypothesis involves the thirteenth century and a high-born Jew who was kidnapped by Chinese at a very young age, requiring him to learn Yiddish at a much later age. Soon after being repatriated and eating a big plate of proper Yiddish cooking under the eyes of his beaming clan, he is reported to have grabbed his midsection and complained
"I got the clamps so bad!"

I was wondering about what to call God's chicken. I cooked this steak, whose silhouette reminds me of a somewhat plumper version of this thread's eponymous young bird.
But "Steak" is not a very good name for a chicken, but I named this steak "God's chicken" in honor of the young lady.

So while I didn't name God's chicken, I named something God's chicken.
