I'm sure though, Barefoot, if you said it, I would not cringe.

I just learned that term in TOTV from a friend here. She said to me: "Put on your big girl panties and just do it!"
I thought that expression was way cool (another outdated expression I know).
I never thought of it as being a snotty little bratty girl that needed to grow up.
I thought of it as being a female wrinklie that needed to get some cojones.
I'm so glad that it's been pointed out that it makes people cringe.
It's all good - Sorry, I just cannot stop saying that one.
