Charlie, Camilla, et all.... Hey.. I ain't no "GUY," generic or otherwise. Nosirree! I'm a hunnert percent name-brand female-type girl! Uhhhh.... gal? <grin> Whatever... I must admit to a pet peeve when I'm dining out in a restaurant and the waitress/waiter (YOU call 'em whatever ya wanna, but this is what I call 'em) comes up to the table and says "Can I help you guys?" Or, "Everything ok with you guys?" Thetas' said no matter if I'm with another woman or with a man, and it's said ALL the time! GRRRRRRRR! I always bite my tongue and just reply with the appropriate response to 'em, but just once I'd like to say "GUYS?" Especially when I'm with a group of women! <g> Barb Mallut (victim of "politically correct-speak) [log in to unmask] ---------- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange on behalf of Charles T.

This takes generic prescribing far beyond its original purpose. :>) Charlie Camilla Flintermann wrote: > > On Sat, 11 Oct 1997 10:18:33 -0400 bob Anibal said: > >I notice that some of the young females ( teen-agers) refer to themselves > >sometimes as "guys" A new universal term for all??? > > > Bob, I must confess that I often use a "generic guys" for females too-- > and it's been a LOOOOONG time since I was a teenager! :-) Different strokes > for different folks, as the saying goes. > >>* * * * * * * * * * * * * * > > Camilla Flintermann, CG for Peter, 79/8, Oxford,Ohio > [log in to unmask] > * * * * * * * * * * * * * * > "Ask me about the CARE list for PD caregivers!" > * * * * * * * * * * * * * * -- CHARLES T.
