A Lincoln man spoke passionately at a recent City Council meeting about the improper use of a term used in restaurants and bars across the world.
The term: Boneless Chicken Wings.
Lincoln resident Ander Christensen spoke during the public comment period of the meeting, encouraging society to rebrand the popular food item.
“Lincoln has the opportunity to be a social leader in this county,” said Christensen. “We have been casually ignoring a problem that has gotten so out of control that our children are casually throwing around names and words without even understanding their true meaning.”
The man proposed that Lincoln remove the term boneless chicken wings “from our menus and from our hearts.”
He went on to list the reasons why and offered a list of alternative words to describe the chicken product. Alternative names included buffalo-style chicken tenders and saucy nugs.
“We’ve been living a lie for far too long, and we know it because we feel it in our bones,” said Christensen.
This is material fro the *Not the Bee*.
What the heck is the issue?????
With all that’s going on in the world today, someone has to freak out about the term *boneless chicken wings*?????
Don’t they have anything better to do?
Well.
I think I need to move to Lincoln..
if this is THE burning hot issue there. Then they have solved everything.
BONELESS LIMBS MATTER!!!
Because all real chickens have bones, and without them in their wings, they couldn’t fly, even as poorly as they do. Makes sense to me. Call them “deboned chicken wings”, to avoid confusion.
Someone needs to “bring awareness” to the tough issues.
In before the Far Side cartoon.
Makes about as much sense as all the other word protests
In before Far Side cartoon
I am certain this is satire. The man cannot be serious.
Well, once the term buffalo wings gained currency (without an explicit reference to the city), the game was over.

His wife followed him and asked the council to make men promise to not say that they were “going to go all night long”.
I want to be this guy. Life so good you have this to worry about.
I wish he would spend his energy, talents and time defending our liberty (whats left of it) instead of this.......
I tried a similar thing once with a local pol who represented us in Tallahassee.
We should stop restaurants from referring to INSTANT potatoes as ‘MASHED ‘ potatoes.
It was ignored.................
I imagine the spineless City Council will give in to his demands.
ISWYDT!................
There ya go.
Call them chicken nuggets
