Hey chicks

[Lissa]

Yeah Beamer, I think "chick" is one of those words that has done full circle and got re-claimedby its rightful owners. Actually, I prefer to be called a chick than a lady. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A LADY?!"

Chick, sheila, bird, gal... all ok with me.

Depends on context though. A panelbeater called me "darling" yesterday and almost got a thick ear for his troubles. Must have been something about his patronising tone.

Iam with klingon... lady is so yesterday.. "a woman who is refined, polite, and well-spoken".

I hate it when people call me 'love' too, my brother gets called 'Lover' by his grandmother inlaw... even worse

Oh, that is wrong in so many ways

"Hey chicks" - what decade were you born in? I suppose you also refer to yourself as a bit of fluff? I can handle being called a lady or a sheila, but a chick? I always think of Easter when I hear that word...

Aw, c'mon. Don't pick on NAaFI. She's just a fresh young innocent newbie - and a bloody juvenile delinquent!
Be grateful, most of her generation are far less complimentary, as in "Wassup, Bitch?". Now THAT sucks arse!

lol nothing wrong with chick... better than sheila in IMO and FAR better than "girlie" I HATE girlie

Yeah, "chick" is good in today's parlance, "lady" went out with black & white TVs, but you're right, Placid, "girlie" is pretty goddamn condescending.

I struggled to contain my laughter this morning though. I was meeting with a client (who prides himself and his company as being very cutting edge and on right up to play in the modern commercial world) and he directed myself and his colleagues to the boardroom, saying something along the lines of "just take a seat, chaps."

Chaps? CHAPS?! Ohforfucksake, that was an expression my grandfather used all the bloody time! You'd remember the type I mean, uppity sunburnt colonial pioneering sort. "I say chaps, what a jolly fine day for for a spot of elephant hunting, what?" and "You chaps can start skinning the zebra after you've unloaded those leopards." and "Well, chaps, shall we join the ladies on the verandah for a gin?" Farkin' hilarious!

Ah hell, my guts are sore from laughing - but you ladies needed to know this, I'm sure. Jolly good show, chaps. Toodle pip.

LMFAO

My dad used to call me 'missy' while waving a finger in my face when giving me a lecture, so yeah, hate 'missy', but weirdly enough like it when my hubby calls me Missy. Not keen on being called woman or sheila, but have no problem with bitch.

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

I have a ZXR spread over the entire garage floor, lounge, dining table and fridge. Seriously though, it is in need of some much needed love and attention...

But... but.. but... summer... good riding weather errmmm

hehe, yep, that's it-a bit of fluff!
Mate, what century were YOU born in? I'm a spring chicken myself, and since you asked, I was born in the late 80's (my profile states my age anyway)
I can see your point. However, I'd protest loudly at being called "lady" or "darling" or (your one PF) "girlie". EERGH!
"Sheila", I find way too Aussie and perhaps a bit brazen or crass. The twit who calls me "girl, girlie" or "child" simply deserves a good hard slap.
Anyhow, with my family and group of buddies, I'm used to being called "kid" or "kiddo"-which I guess I'm just resigned to.
*sigh* when will they ever see that I'm all grown up??

By the way, who else has chicken on Christmas day? My family has never done the turkey or ham thing. I scabbed some turkey last Christmas when I popped round to visit my buddy and was invited in to munch some leftovers. Being the well mannered but inquisitive young type, I thought it'd be rude to decline the offer, and immediately set to work on a cold turkey sammy. Bottom line: I like turkey. I like chicken too, but turkey would be nice perhaps once a year? I don't mean to sound like a snivelling ingrate, but this year we're away camping... so I'll be lucky if I get my steak (how I prefer it) on the rear side. The BBQ's a bit dodgey and my stepdad insists on cooking (it's the man thing) so I daren't suggest anything above good old sausages, patties and steak. (I feel the steak on its own will test him).
My point: when will my family ever do turkey? Am I really missing out or is the well advertised, steriotyped traditional spread of ham, turkey and pud just a load of hype so that the over-indulgent can, well, over-indulge?
Meanwhile, this Christmas I'll look forward to summer salads and (godwilling/stepdad's skill-ing) a rare steak.

Enough of my wandering drivel.
