English term

chicks

English Art/Literary Slang
Let's start advertising peace. Sell, sell, sell, and whatever gimmickry or irrelevancies are going on during the advert, it is the drink or the car that they buy at the end of it. Whether there is chicks or a white horse and snow, the product sells

I just want to make sure that I understood Lennon. By chicks he refers to girls and refers to advertising methods?
