Published on August 7, 2019, a term has been making rounds in the social media streets: peacocking. This behavior involves a person wearing or doing something to get noticed, much like a peacock displays its feathers to attract a mate.
But while it's acceptable for a bird to show off, it can be outlandish for humans. Take, for instance, a man wearing a neon-colored jumpsuit and holding a chicken in a local bar on a Friday night. He seems to be alone, his eyes darting around, and his phone is his only companion. It's not Halloween or a theme party, so why the chicken?
As you approach him, you're drawn into a conversation that's equal parts awkward and intriguing. The peacock's antics have worked, and he's got your attention.
The Conversation Unfolds
As you navigate through the crowded bar, you finally reach the peacock. You ask him why he's wearing a neon jumpsuit and carrying a chicken, and he responds with a charming smile.
