chicken head

n. [Commodore] The Commodore Business Machines logo, which strongly resembles a poultry part (within Commodore itself the logo was always called chicken lips ). Rendered in ASCII as C=. With the arguable exception of the Amiga , Commodore's machines were notoriously crocky little bitty box es, albeit people have written multitasking Unix-like operating systems with TCP/IP networking for them. Thus, this usage may owe something to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (the basis for the movie Blade Runner ; the novel is now sold under that title), in which a chickenhead is a mutant with below-average intelligence.
