[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate that for some reason, and can't figure out why. I really can't stand the WTOP traffic guy who comes on ABC's morning news - he always tosses it back to the "girls." Come on.[/quote] Would you prefer he said 'ladies'? Do you have the same reaction when they say boys or guys?[/quote] Of course I would have the same reaction to a grown man referring to other grown men as boys in a professional setting. But you never see that. In this context, ANYTHING is better than girls. [/quote] For some people, "girls" is the female equivalent of "guys", although I use "guys" for both men and women or mixed groups. I know others who use "gals" as the the female equivalent of "guys", and I hate that term, but I can't rationally object to it. So I just grit my teeth.[/quote]
