Rudey,

I done tole you I was MAAAARRRRREEEEEIIIIDDD!!!

The only reference you can give to the sistahs is by their names... Unless you call them "goddesses"--and they'll love that about you...

Otherwise, just call folks by their names...

And personally, I don't find it offensive. Others might, though...
