I prefer using toots and chickee, but ma'am works too.

[thoughtomator]

Oddly enough, I find "sweetheart" isn't received very well, either. Maybe it's the dripping sarcasm?

[Vision]

Lunatic woman alert.

Sure seems like a lot of these lately.

"I prefer using toots and chickee, but ma'am works too."

Who'da thunk?

Another poster told me you use the ol' standby "Hey.............tuna........."

[VOA]

Being ma’am-ed is tantamount to having our self-esteem maimed.

I've been on the receiving end of this sort of 'tude.

And they wonder why American males go to the trouble to import brides...

[NRA1995]

Try calling one the "C" word and telling her that some flaky womens' studies professor said that it's a term of endearment....

[Moose4]

I "ma'am" almost every woman I come in contact with. This stupid bint is too dense to figure out that it's a term of frigging respect down here in the South. I was brought up to say "yes sir" and "no sir," "yes ma'am" and "no ma'am," and even though I'm pushing forty now, I still do. Because if I didn't, my eighty-six-year-old mother will drive down here and kick my ass.

Well this was published in MN.

Ma'am is a Southern thing. Heck, I "Ma'am" the teenage checkout girl at the grocery store by habit.

[opus86]

Our society is neck-deep in F-bombs and beeyotches and this woman is upset over ma'am?

[MilspecRob]

I thought it was funny a h@ll, so did my model sister hitting 40 next month

[ClearCase_guy]

just remain smug in the fact that you still got it.

I'm sorry ma'am, but you don't still got it.

[Moose4]

You don’t even have to flirt back; just remain smug in the fact that you still got it.

And all I've got to say about that is...well, bless her heart.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Give me a freakin' break!

I worked for 20+ years to be called "ma'am" (or madame, if they desire). I don't mind at all, and incidentally, I don't mind being called "Miss XXXX" or "Mrs." or "Ms", either. I'm glad to have reached maturity and adulthood. I'd love it if more people used these titles. Unfortunately, these days usually only the police do.

What does she want to be called - "b!#!$"? I guess so, and I think it aptly describes her.

[SoothingDave]

Everybody should take a deep breath and realize this author is trying to mine the "miss=I'm young, ma'am = I'm old" vein for comedy.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Try, "Yo, bitch, can I see your license and proof of insurance"?

[MortMan]

Perhaps she should just be called "B!tch"? ;-P

[MamaTexan]

Ma'am is offensive?

I Ma'am other women.

If they don't like it, they can KMA!

:-)

[acad1228]

Ya think she'd prefer "Sugart%ts"?

[Hacksaw]

I was ma’am-ed.

How about 'ho?

The author must have a really bad case of PMS. In the south, Ma'am is a salutation of respect for women. I would think that is also the case elsewhere.
