Not much thought is placed on age-old expressions and jokes but the popular chicken crossing the road line has uncovered some dark connotations, apparently.
You’d have to be living under a rock if you’ve never heard this popular joke.
The age-old line of the “chicken that crossed the road”, with a number of variations when it comes to the answer, has long been hailed as one of the all-time most popular quips.
Turns out, this funny line, with the answer often being “to get to the other side”, is far more sinister than many may have thought, with people only just realising the dark meaning behind it.
Folks on social media have been up in arms after its true meaning was uncovered, causing a shock to all after hearing it.
This uncovering began when podcaster Kate Lister took to Twitter and revealed the dark truth about it, further blowing people’s minds.

Lister explained that she never truly understood the joke but after delving deeper realised that in fact, the other side meant passing away from this life.
Meaning that the interpretation of the joke was being amused when someone enters the afterlife.
She said: “You’re telling me that the chicken who crossed the road was KILLED and went to ‘the other side?’
“THAT’S THE JOKE? All these years I thought that little f***** was just crossing the road.”

This wild revelation garnered quite the reaction on social media, with a number of people expressing their complete dismay at only knowing now how sinister it actually was.
One person wrote: “I’m in my 60s and just learned this about a year ago. It may have ruined the joke for me.”
Others reactions claimed of being enlightened and having their mind-blown, with others dubious that it could be so dark.
“No way! Stop it. Okay breathe… So right now I don’t know whether to be sad, cry, confused, impressed, or feel really stupid for thinking that d*** chicken was just on a mission to get to the other side of the freak’n road.
“Like he was just on his way home from work or something.”

Another chimed in saying: “Ooh. That puts a different perspective on things. This dark world is now a little darker.”
However, one person wrote: “No, it’s another meaning that people have imposed on the joke retrospectively, and has gained some traction on social media in recent years.
“The original point of it is just that it’s an anti-joke that subverts your expectations. He is just crossing the road.”
Regardless of how the joke is interpreted, there’s no denying it has stood the test of time, even if the chicken did not.
