words that irk me
That's another one I don't like. Old lady or old man. I have too much respect for my wife or mom and dad. Sorry Ironracer.
Is this thread still about abortion? I ain't time traveling to find out. Back on point.
I came from Harley world, where old lady was that highest form of respect. Your old man was your dad, and if you didn't respect him he was asshole or something, if you were indifferent, he was THE old man, and if reverence was involved, he was your old man, possessive. It was never a slander unless you called him old man. "What's up, old man?" Would be disrespectful.
Same for old lady. You might have a lot of ladies in your life, but only one old lady, and she is the queen. My old lady knows that, in josbunchanumbers lingo, I'm telling the world she's special, unique, and irreplaceable to me when I say, this is my old lady.
This was taught to me by a guy who once said, "the universe of jos51700 is not harmonious if the
women of jos51700 are not harmonious"
(He meant wife and daughters, not multiple romantic interests)
Chris H. could be very profound at times. He was also the father of my favorite phrase, spoken to me after I asked for time off to fix my house after a tornado did some damage: "if you can't take care of your family and your property, what's the point of having a job?"
And he also taught me one of my
favorite words, referring a general cold or state of illness: you got the phlegmengitis
