Why does the legally blonde Quote " that's why I'm petitioning to change it it from winter semester to the winter Ovester" keep going through my head.

Wow. You have got to be kidding me.

...I take it you think women should be admitted to Augusta National.

And I wasn't joking when I said I'm not a Liberal.

What did Karl Marx say that is contradictory to anything I posted about capitalism and slavery, young co-ed?

Very little, but that hardly means it was correct.

You never said you weren't.

You're probably some ridiculous major like social work or african-american studies.

This is true.

I believe that using male-centered language does perpetuate a male-dominated society.. when you hear male-centered words for your whole life, it affects you, even if you don't realize it.

Although, I don't make an issue of it when I hear someone use that kind of language. I try not to, myself, but whatever. I have bigger fish to fry.

Some of us build careers out of frying different size fish at the same time.

(It's the seemingly "small things" that have the biggest impact on society.)

Not at all. I say it all the time, even if I am addressing a group of females. My intent isn't to degrade or anything like that. I just feel weird saying "Hey ladies!, or "Hey, you girls". Saying "hey guys and gals" or anything like that is just dorky, no matter how politically correct I'm supposed to pretend to be.

Yes. Your accent is excruciating, butch, loud, and not very lady like.

Sorry, can you tell I really don't like the NJ guido type accents?

Seriously, not necessarily a bad thing, but not something to work toward either. The Southerner may leave the South, but the South should never leave the Southerner.

Maybe it's a Texas thing, which would explain why the rest of us haven't paid much attention to it.

Well, to quote a great song about Texas, "Our accents are the drawliest, our howdies are the y'alliest"-- not really THAT much you guys-ing going on there.

MysticCat · #13 09-19-2006, 02:36 PM

^^^^ Apparently there's a fair amount of "you guys" going on in the part of Texas where Macallan lives.

Maybe he's just been hanging out with too many out of staters.

(I can never keep straight if he is supposed to be from TX and attending school in Alabama, or from Alabama attending school in TX, or if he started in TX, went to undergrad in AL, and now is back in TX for law school. Or if his daddy is a lawyer or a former pro football player.)

It's all over the country. That's why I don't listen to people's excuses for using it.
