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.

infinite monkey · 06-20-2012, 11:18 AM

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...

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.

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.

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?
