What do you politely call a grown woman these days?

Is combination sandwich maker/ dishwasher considered inappropriate?

 

Luckily there are still a few good people out there.
I just saw this story with the Eagle's safety Anthony Harris taking a young girl in Texas to a school dance.
If all of us could just do a little bit better like this guy, it would definitely be a better world.

 

Absolutely!

You might like to watch the segments from Beyond the Game about atheletes being good role models.

The series is from former coach Tony Dungy and announcer James Brown.

 

I refer to my wife as either woman or Ho, it’s short for Holly. So far she hasn’t smacked me and it’s been 28 years together.

 

Near.... lol

 

Man (or sir,or he, you get where I'm going) you said a mouth full there!!

 

To love the unloveable, and the ungrateful.
I kinda avoid all pronoun stuff, and just use their name, or something generic.
And just love on them.
Its absolutely not my job to play God, who has spoken. Am I listening? What is HIS (not MY) heart for me to present?
If I can get outta my head, and be and extension of Him (esp if I am so bold as to claim to be His), that will win them, sometime.
Of a hundred people to love them in the right direction, that ends up in them changing for the better, what if I can be number 100?
Only He can change hearts. Am I going to be one who helps or am I going to hinder that process?

If being generic gets that done, yup, will do it.

Well said friend!

So many times the best way to show a person the pathway is to take a step on it so they can see, rather than point them which way to go.

 

Back to the OP. I will use Miss, Ma,am or Mrs. If I make a mistake it will be an honest one. I will apologize. "A soft answer turns away wrath." I will be a Gentleman as far as it depends on me. I will attempt to disengage or simply walk away if something is becoming unpleasant. Probably I will never see them again so why waste any energy.

 

I agree. But I won't apologize or give into a lie. You can give a soft truthful answer that is honest. I don't believe it is healthy to the individual to give positive affirmation to a perversity. Then just walk away and keep your peace. Like you said you may never see them again, but the seed of truth you left in them will sprout given the right conditions.

 

So there is a time and place to say various things to people we meet. I wonder then if our responses should be purely situational, rather than a stock response to every like interaction.
In my world, its called being guided by Holy Spirit. Moment by moment, willing to speak His heart. The one I call Savior did the same; no formula, just obedience to His Father's heart for each person He encountered....from flipping over tables and calling out the religious of the day, to tender love towards the woman at the well.

But, I have had two friendships with "alternative" types of people. I think they knew where I stood doctrinally, but it was great fun just to love on them.

Back to the OP, some of the nicknames we use are funny. I have an uncle in KY who calls his wife "woman". A term on endearment as far as I've seem.
