You guys lay off my three inch chub. I'm not showing you pictures now.

Wow.

I've heard that before.

I've heard it sarcastically and in disdained disbelief.

Was that before or after he wiped his mouth?

I figure if you get to the point where you're hearing it at all, it's all good!

Wow!

I love gay men.

THIS

I get irritated when a woman is offended when I refer to her as "ma'am." I was raised that way: sir or ma'am. It has nothing to do with age. I was just being polite. In my opinion, miss just doesn't sound right.

Furthermore, I'm also irritated when a man responds when I refer to him as "sir" with, "Don't call me sir, I work for a living" or "I'm not a sir." Are you seriously offended by the word sir? Would you prefer for me to refer you as "dude" or "hey you?" JFC

:D

Just bustin' your balls, sir.

However, I will respect a woman's wishes if she doesn't like ma'am and will call her miss. It just doesn't sound right though. Who the hell dictated that ma'am actually meant old?

I'd rather a hit than a miss.

Look at it this way... If we were in the 1800's and a gentleman tipped his hat and called me, "ma'am", I wouldn't take offense. That was the way of the cowboys and the ladies.

However, here we are quickly approaching 2013 and times have changed. For instance, I was at the grocery store earlier and this 20-something clerk called me ma'am. I don't know what it is, but whenever I hear it, I get very annoyed. It always seems to be the younger guys, too. The older guys call me, "young lady", "miss", "missy". I even had one call me, "darlin'" recently when I was at the convenient store.

Interesting. It may be that the younger generation is being raised to call strangers ma'am. Who knows though? Instead of discussing the merits of ma'am vs miss, we should be fighting zombies right now. Damn Mayans can't get anything right.

I agree. My Jeep was prepped for running over zombies and they never showed up. :sulk:
