I don't :p

'guy' is a word for males, but 'guys' as a group term can mean either gender.

Same with chap/ chaps. Or even chaps in chaps.
At least in my vernacular.

DanaC 06-20-2012 11:16 AM

Yup, chap too.

He's a cunt.

BigV 06-20-2012 01:15 PM

Who "he"? Not to be confused with "whoooooeeee".

infinite monkey 06-20-2012 02:15 PM

Chap. Chap is a cunt.

And an abrasive one at that.

That's not progress its DOOM.. if you read that bit I found about calling evil good and good evil you see this is part of the "delusion" America is under...

Cyber Wolf 06-20-2012 04:51 PM

Doom. DOOOOOOOOOOM!


Clodfobble 06-20-2012 07:11 PM

I call everyone "dude" and "man," even in the singular. Is that okay?


I don't see gender. People tell me I'm female, and I believe them because sometimes I don't get a ticket when a cop pulls me over.

Ibby 06-20-2012 07:17 PM

nice colbert ref

Yeah, the terms "dude" and "man" are fairly agendered nowadays, but it's all about context.
If someone calls me dude, idgaf. if someone calls me A dude? yeah that's not cool. And I've definitely had people call me man when i could definitely tell they meant it not like "mate" or "pal" or whatever but definitely gendered-ly.

They don't care who you're fucking, but they're real persnickety about what you wear.

Yeah. 'man' is another of those words.

Funnily enough the other way around doesn't really work. So, 'guy', 'man' and 'dude' mean male but can also apply to females. But I cannot think of any words for woman that can also apply to males.

Makes a sort of sense linguistically...'man' used to mean person. It was used to signify a male, and it also meant 'person' of either gender. If it was necessary to specify female, then the word became Wyfman.

106.9fm. I think that it was the FM Christian Talk and Music station that even Christians didn't listen to, and before that it was the soft jazz station.

They do have a lot more local programming, and Hannity, but need to learn that more reverb does not make the talk sound better. It just sounds like it's in the bottom of a deep well. The signal strength is far better than 1210AM, and it doesn't fuzz out when I go past buildings with fluorescent lighting, so that's definitely better.

Rush Limbaugh is going to be on there in a couple of days. Next Monday, maybe?
