"Clucky"? Is this a common expression? I've never heard it before. I can make a guess of the meaning based on the content of the story, but am I out of touch for not having heard this expression before?

I never liked Jennifer Anniston. Plastic, shallow, bad actress with a foofy haircut.

Also, I bet Brad Pitt could find 100,000 women that would immediately roll over on their back and put their feet in the air if he said he wanted to have a baby.

I guess it's a common expression in Australia

See The Australian Slang Dictionary

Clucky : Feeling broody or maternal

Young men reflect much more on work and having sex with as many supermodels as possible."

But, as a man ages, he no longer feels the need to sleep with so many supermodels, and begins to cut back in this area.

I heard and used both "clucky" and "setty" in Idaho in the 1960s referring to hens that lay their given number of eggs, and then want to sit and brood them, regardless of whether there are still any eggs to sit on or not. They would not lay any more eggs. A couple of days in a small coop with a wire floor broke them of that instinct, and then they would start laying eggs again.

Personally, I couldn't find any of what they do in Hollywierd at all interesting. Overpaid spoiled liberals. Glad one is unable to reproduce just now. Too many of them peeing in the gene pool.

Personally, I think the story that Pitt is feeling clucky is a cover story for the real issue, whatever it is. [And I have my own ideas about what "it" is, too.]

Speak for yourself. I am 45 and I'll sleep with any supermodels that will have me. :)

Why doesn't Brad just get himself another girlyman and adopt.

"Loyalty to work is dead," Korn says. "Increasingly people are recognising what's really important is having children."

Whether this is about movie stars or just plain folk, it's nice to see the pendulum swinging back the other way, isn't it?

I married my DH because he was a SUPERB father to his son, who was three when we first met. (His career-driven girlfriend bailed on him after he convinced her not to abort; he kept the kid. This happened to his brother, too.) He made it clear that they were a Package Deal and that they BOTH had to fall in love with me, or all bets were off. He didn't let me meet his son until after we had dated for close to eight months.

Now that, my friends, is sex appeal in my book. Never have really met another man like him, except his brother. Needless to say, they have a terrific Mother whom I respect and adore, too! I'm extremely blessed to have been welcomed into an awesome family full of loving and responsible people. In this case, they really do do it "for the children." I have 15 neices and nephews; our lives really are all about the kids, and the first three (including ours) are ready to finally fly the coop and head for college. :)

Thanks, Tax-Chick! Is it Happy Hour yet? We need to toast the fact that there are still a few decent men left on this planet, LOL! Actually, I suspect that their number is legion, but get lost in the "pc-ness" of our current times. :(

People should thoroughly discuss having (or not having) kids *before* they get married. Duh.
