I was thinking about my college days recently.  My English professor was an elderly woman, one who always became very animated when discussing the English languages ability to change, evolve and add new words. To her this was the most wonderful thing, ever! To me, it was a big yawn. So what?  I was too busy thinking about my Computer Science class...now that was excitement!

In that class my professor, Mr. Raulerson, informed us the personal computer had no future. According to him,personal computers were much too expensive and much too complicated for the average person to use. The smart money he said was on mainframes and FORTRAN. Turns out my English professor was right. Mr. Raulerson, god rest his FORTRAN soul, was wrong.

A new phrase is sweeping the country:

Keep Fucking That Chicken!

KFTC (Keep Fucking That Chicken!) was first used by Ernie Anastos, New Yorks local Fox News anchor. He was making a silly reference to "chicken plucking" that became "chicken fucking" when discussing the weather forecast. Ernie is no stranger to Freudian slips  ; in this clip he invites viewers to visit MyFoxNY."cock" ( My Fox NY dot cock)  then dong.cock ( My Fox NY dong cock)...watch. Only on Fox.

KFTC (Keep Fucking That Chicken!) is a phrase of encouragement  much like the philosphy of R Crumbs thinly veiled ,drug reference laden Mr. Natural, and his ( Crumbs )Keep On Trucking cartoon...a visual riff on the lyrics of the Blind Boy Fuller song "Truckin' My Blues Away" only with a more energetic and sarcastic air of defiance.

The chicken may be:

1. -a real chicken. 
   
2. -a metaphor for an enjoyable activity.
3. -recognition of an individuals pursuit of a personal goal.
   
4. -encouragement for attempting, expressing or actually completing an act of futility.
5. -acknowledgment of a persons determination to keep a talking point or exaggeration alive...no matter how many times the item may have been refuted.
   

In any case KFTC is a expression of support to the recipient to continue doing whatever it is that they're doing regardless of what others may say or how horribly futile the act may be so long as it makes them happy. It (Keep Fucking That Chicken!) is the quintessential expression of the American spirit!
