[Sir Gawain]

Explain the chicken boy reference.

[ConfusedAndLovingIt]

On the daily live Iraqi war threads, many people would be watching the 24-hour live webcam broadcasts from Baghdad. Sometimes, different reporters would prepare and practice their stories and since it was a live feed, we'd see it warts and all. I believe this Richard Engel was one of those reporters and people on those threads were calling him by the nickname of "Chicken Boy" or something like that. I didn't follow those threads close enough to know why.
