Lucky Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm nothing if not formal, Joe. There is a quaint formality to my rampant vulgarity. She does call us Mommy and Daddy, silly. I meant if we ask her a question and she doesn't hear us, she doesn't scream out "huh?" or "what?", she she'll say, "ma'am?" or "sir?". That's how I was brought up. Also to adress my elders as "Miss Peaches" or "Mr. Joe" To this day when speaking to anyone older than myself (which is part of my job everyday) it's yes ma'am and yes sir. It's just a term of respect. Also, in my world, Bud is used as more a term of endearment when speaking to a male friend or child. Buddy however, is just about on par with chick or hon .... it's just a bit insulting, showing they are too lazy to find out or remember the actual first name.

Shawna Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Also to adress my elders as "Miss Peaches" or "Mr. Joe" what if their name is Susan, or Billy, or Mac, or Cheryl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Nope, all elders are Miss Peaches or Mr Joe, regardless. And don't you dare go callin' me Miss Carole, you young'un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 but the WORST is "ma'am". "Ma'am" makes me feel old. I know, right?!? I hate ma'am, with a passion. Maybe it's because I was brought up on the side that called each other "buddy" and "chick." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombre Vivante Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 If I called someone a chick it'd most likely translate to 'hot but probably brainless girl' That's the context in which I use it. A lot of people at the office don't get it and probably think it's a word without connotation (because I use it all the time). "Yeah, that one chick from that other district... I ferget her name..." We just had a little seminar on 'sexual harrassment' at the office, so I picked up a lot of new ways to verbally jab the colleagues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 "Old woman!" "Man!" "Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?" "I'm 37." "What?" "I'm 37, I'm not old!" "I can't just call you man!" "You could say Dennis." "I didn't know you were called Dennis!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 the thing with "sir" is it's used for younger men as well as older men, so there's no differentiating. With "miss" or "ma'am" there's a huge differentiation. One is for women who look younger and (presumably) therefore unmarried, one for women who look old. I hate that I'm the latter, and I hate being reminded that I now LOOK it, by the former. I actually feel flattered when someone calls me "miss," so to me, that would be the way to go if you don't want to ruffle feathers. Some of my classmates went to lunch a couple of weeks ago, and one of them who is my age ordered the senior special. Then another gal who's about 20 ordered the same thing. The waitress said to her, "You have to be 55 to order that," and she hadn't even questioned the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 and, BA, is that pronunciation typically preceded by, "I'll pay cash."? No, mah-dum, although, now that I think about it, I pay for practically everything on a date. Next time, I'll ask a chick to buy me a beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is for women who look younger and (presumably) therefore unmarried, one for women who look old. it's exactly the same in French with "Madam" and "Mademoiselle" interestingly it's something completely different in German with "Frau" vs "Fräulein" if you'd call a woman "Fräulein" she will probably be very offended, because it insinuates that she's too young, inexperienced, naive... more or less not to be taken seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 A question for the ladies... How the hell do I remove eye-liner? If I don't do something quick, I could become the butt of many jokes at church tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Baby oil (since I'm sure you don't have make-up remover) or vaseline will work as well if you don't have any cleansing cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
