Is there some reason you feel the need to refer to others, including people that are obviously female, as "boy".

It doesn't help your argument and only makes you appear to be a racist. Unless of course you're trying to do a bad Jackie Gleason impression of Smokey and the Bandit?

I have called him on this several times. He says it is a "southern thang". Well in Texas when an adult male calls another adult male a "boy" in an argument someone is going to get a mud hole stopped in them. It is almost always the "boy" doing the stomping.

Oh, boy.....Actually this is probably one of the kinder remarks made on this thread tonight...

I apologize to any ladies I may have called boy. That isn't my usual practice. As a Southerner, the use of "boy" to another man isn't even an insult, just a manner of speaking. It's good for smoking out yankees and liberals though, both of whom will immedately feign offense at the first utterance of the term.

Jackie Gleason said "sumb***h" more than he said "boy". If he said "boy" he's the one doing an imitation of Southerners, not me.
