[off track a little]
I don't know about the rest of you but I always had and have trouble pronouncing Ms. It was a real problem in the 70's. Miss is easy to say and Missus is easy to say but Mizzzz just sits between the front of my tongue and the back of my teeth and I end up saying the zzzzzz part until every woman around me nods their head that I got it right. |

How about this one...
"You've been a wonderful audience... give yourselves a hand!" The first one I ever heard use it was the comedian Shelly Berman. He was doing a really phony "sincere" routine... just awful. Some audience members actually applaud themselves.

Another one that bugs me is men referring to their wives as "my (or the) bride." And another one... Referring to your wife or husband as "she" or "he," without identifying her or him first.
"She went to the store and forget to get bread." How about "My wife went to the store, but she forgot to get bread."

Once walked by my boss's office and overheard him in the phone refer to "my girl" (meaning me). He really couldn't understand why I gave my notice that day.

"The wife" as if she is a possession, like "the bottle opener" or "the beer"...

Thank you!

"buried two brides". Well, in the comments section I said that doesn't sound like any 70 year old men that I know and how creepy I thought the bride word was. I got really lambasted with posters saying how sweet it is when older married men used this term. UGH! Did I say thank you, CFrance? Thank you. |

I agree with not using "the wife", "my girl", "the bride", etc. I think you chicks should get a lot more respect
