This important,perplexing question came to me at lunch

[Rogue Hawk]

Rogue,

Not to be sexist, but what are some female term usages?

This is something in the Girl World that some find perplexing. Girls in a group referring to themselves as a group of 'guys'. Example, a girl says, "Hey guys, lets go to the club" when talking to her female friends. From what I hear, that is a Northern thing. Southern girls don't get it.

Girls also refer to their female friend as 'girl friend' as appose to a guy talking about his significant other as his 'girlfriend'. Note the space between the words.

Some of those names would shock the PC crowd these days. I wonder what fathers are calling their boys today.

That would depend on the reason they called them to start with. If the kid did something good they would be called son. If the kid is in some kind of trouble, they are called by their full name, just like it appears on their birth certificate.
