 OK so some research shows a Chanticleer is a name for a rooster , who knew  :rolleyes:

 Anyway , the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers beat Arizona for the college national title , a feet equivalent to Moto Guzzi outselling Honda . Congratulations to Coastal Carolina  :bow:

Also the name of a male vocal choral group.

They are actually quite good.

The University of SC cornered Gamecock as the mascot. Coastal Carolina kept it in the family with Chanticleer. Both now CWS Champions. The football team is another matter. We call them 'Shamecocks". Most embarrassing group of athletes in state history.

I believe Chanticleer was the name of the rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales." (lots of misspellings in this post, I'm certain.)

If you're enough of a scholar to find where Chaucer was spelling correctly, colloquially, or with an intent to create a pun or satire, then you know Old and Middle English far better than me!

 The English language was still in its formative stages when Chaucer was alive , basically it was every man for himself  :laugh:
