English even has the term "spring chicken" to describe these same young naiive girls... In particular, a middle-aged woman might be "no spring chicken".

On the topic of which, is a spring chicken the same as a spatch-cock? Or not?

Wait... unlike "chick", a spring chicken it seems can also be male...
