View Full Version : Calling a girl "man"


10-21-2005, 02:14 PM
Is referring to a girl as "man" as in "talk to you later, man" ever correct? Are girls offended by this term?
Does it make a difference if your friendly w/ the girl and have been friends for a while?
Thoughts?

This is wrong. Also, a lot of girls get upset just when you refer to a group of people as guys, as in "Hey, guys. What's up?" I think the prefered terminology is non-gender-specific entity, as in "Hey non-gender-specific entities. What's up?"

you have a lot of free time on your hands, don't you?

I'm on OOT all day, the answer should be obvious /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Girls will get upset about anything, just to keep you on your toes.

Funny thing is, lots of girls in L.A. call each other "dude." From the teens up through the 40's, especially the Latinas I think. After hearing it for years and years, it still hasn't lost its weirdness.

meh. I could care less.
Lucas always says "later dude" when he refers to me. I do not think it's a big deal at all.

If they could just come up with an female appropiate replacement for Dude; my life would be so much easier.

Yeah, but come on. This is Lucas. He can do whatever he wants because you know if you smart off, you're getting flipped off extra hard and nobody wants any of that. What's the story on him lately, anyway? Has he just given up on us, or what?

I would refer to them as "sweetie" or "honey" but that may be offensive as well. You can never win w/ girls. I should just become a pimp and refer to all of them as bitches and hos. <font color="white">just kidding ladies </font>

I use Darlin' all the time. But that's just my Texas upbringing. I've tried to stifle it over the years, but it still slips out. However, I also use Ma'am quite a bit.

If I smart off, he just throws rubber bands/coins/pens at me in my office.
He has been lurking but he won't post. /images/graemlins/frown.gif
I seriously do not think he will be back, which makes me sad.

To him, he did lose. He meant for the contest to be over that Friday at 5. He messed up the poll.

Just because he messed up doesn't invalidate the rules; he would have been [censored] if he lost the poll. He is currently active. Syracuse Sucks!

I bust out "dude" a lot.

Hell, I even do this with my wife.
I also call her chick or chica.

She loves me though, so she just lets it slide.

I'm a retard. /images/graemlins/grin.gif
