But you like "toots", Kelsey?

I *wish* I had a king size. Maddie and I both sprawl too much for a queen.

I'm a big fan of "lady." Especially when adressing my female friends, because it adds a touch of class to conversation.

Alternately, it adds a touch of Jerry Lewis.

I was searching for the Britney image, but John beat me to it. Has anyone else seen Crossroads and enjoyed it?

Dan, but watch out for "ladyfriend" - gals take offense to that sometimes, especially if you've got something going on with them, especially, like, occasionally!

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:52 (twenty years ago)

LADY! FROM THE MOMENT I SAAAAAW YOU...

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:52 (twenty years ago)

Love "toots." Although, if someone I didn't know called me toots, I'd be all, "Who does he think he is?"

I had to watch Crossroads for a job I had at that time. The best thing about it was the DVD extra where they show you how to make the t-shirts the girls were wearing. I'm saying girls here on purpose.

I loved Crossroads!

(Speaking of which, last night I watched the Sopranos episode from the most recent season where Tony meets his father's mistress, this Kennedy-era bombshell played by Polly Draper - man, was she great.)

xpost- that's a beautiful song, Manda. For my 7th grade chorus-class evening cabaret concert, I sang 'Babe' - maybe I should've tried 'Lady' instead.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:53 (twenty years ago)

I know a couple of dudes who say "ladyfriend" all the time, and it comes off as totally smarmy.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:53 (twenty years ago)

The best triple bill would be:
1. Where the Boys Are
2. Satisfaction
3. Crossroads

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:54 (twenty years ago)

It's all about "the ladies".

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:54 (twenty years ago)

I have a friend who says either 'ladyfriend' or 'womanfriend' because he cannot stand 'girlfriend.'

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:54 (twenty years ago)

I need to see Crossroads. Actually, I wonder if Crossroads and 8 Mile might be a good double feature.

Until I posted it, Britney was the spectre haunting this thread.

I really don't like "lady" for some reason.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:55 (twenty years ago)

I love "girlfriend". I'm going to say it even after I'm married.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:55 (twenty years ago)

i use ladies and fellas.

i also use "girl" and "woman" when talking about a girl or woman and for me it's not an age thing it's a maturity thing. i've dated 32 year old girls and 25 year old women. hopefully there's something going on with this 28 year old i've been seeing around. i'm leaning 60/40 towards her being a girl.

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:57 (twenty years ago)

Not "lady", "the ladies".

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:57 (twenty years ago)

chick

― Jeff. (Jeff), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:57 (twenty years ago)

worst

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:58 (twenty years ago)

"The ladies" is one of those words that shouldn't be made singular, like "scissors" or "pants".

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:58 (twenty years ago)

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:58 (twenty years ago)

Saffire - now those are ladies!

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:59 (twenty years ago)

I use "lady" in more the regal context (Lady XXXX) and saying silly shit like "Hello, lady, nice to see you."

Never ever ever never ever "ladyfriend." I called a girlfriend that once, in her presence, and that was enough!

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:59 (twenty years ago)

I am a big fan of "lady" but it DOES make me grab for a full skirt to lift when I'm going up stairs...you know, to keep mud off the hem and show a little ankle at the same time.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 2 March 2006 17:59 (twenty years ago)

I can never hear "ladyfriend" again without thinking of The Big Lebowski.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:00 (twenty years ago)

True!

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:01 (twenty years ago)

Mmmmm... ankle.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:03 (twenty years ago)

"Lady. I'm your knight in shining armor. And I love you. You have made me what I am aaaaaand -- I am yours"

"Lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You're my lady"

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:03 (twenty years ago)

Sparkling, clear and lovely? Is she a mountain stream? The winner is Kenny Rogers by a mile, for evoking more chivalrous times.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:04 (twenty years ago)

Don't you mean "you're my LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADAAAAAAAAAAY?"

xpost: Oh I thought that was Styx! hahaha

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:05 (twenty years ago)

Is there anything worse than "mujer" though? Let's be honest.

It is! I did mean that.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:06 (twenty years ago)

I guess "mujer" isn't so bad, depending on who's saying it.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:07 (twenty years ago)

punta?

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:07 (twenty years ago)

you mean puta?

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:08 (twenty years ago)

yes.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:09 (twenty years ago)

yeeeah, that's worse. but that's obviously a pejorative term.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:17 (twenty years ago)

i mean, i would rather be called "chick" (as gross as it is) than "whore" anyday.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:17 (twenty years ago)

I don't think "chick" is that bad, really.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:20 (twenty years ago)

(I mean, it depends on the context, obv.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:20 (twenty years ago)

Woman just sounds weird, I rarely use it.

Lady, too old fashioned.

I use girl a lot, peppered with some chicks.

Gal reminds me too much of NC.

― Jeff. (Jeff), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:20 (twenty years ago)

You all know I hate the word "buddy" to denote "friend," right? Hate it.

(xp) interesting about the Southernness of "gal," I suppose -- that never really occurred to me since I've reclaimed it

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:21 (twenty years ago)

Doll?

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:23 (twenty years ago)

Shiela?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:25 (twenty years ago)

Bird?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:27 (twenty years ago)

Hey, what about SOW? That's a good one. How about person. If you're using a pronoun, the person's sex is already clear.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:27 (twenty years ago)

"dudette"

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:28 (twenty years ago)

I would rather be a great person than a great girl/woman/lady/mare.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:29 (twenty years ago)

Ultimately, though, I'm not insulted by any of these.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:30 (twenty years ago)

XX?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:30 (twenty years ago)

You know, as in the chromosomes. "That was one fiiiiiine dos equis bartending at the Empty Bottle last night."

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:31 (twenty years ago)

Please refer to me by my identification code, 82375538.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 18:31 (twenty years ago)

You're my milllllkmaid of the morrrrrning...
