    re: Off-Topic

    I was scolded today at work for using the word "girl" when referring to a woman.

        Well, duh. Why are you even assuming gender? You should say "person" or "individual" or "human."

                      You letting it ride if somebody calls you "boy" at work? Because I sure as hell ain't.

                      I think we have to be pretty obtuse to not know why "girl" is a bad look.

                          I don't really know the context here. I guess I don't say "girl" much either, but just like there is "girl and boy," there is also "girl and guy" (unless instead you want to say "chick," which I don't think anyone here is about to do). So as much as I say "guy," I hope there is also an appropriate female version to say as well.

                          That being said, I tend to say "female" or "woman" myself.

                            I find calling a woman "chick" to be more egregious.

                            It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                              Relax, I didn’t post that video to be a reflection of what I think of it. I posted it because it was the first thing I thought when I read his post.
