Well then ya better stay out of the South ma... er, missy. Round here we call all the ladies ma'am, from an 85 year old grandma down to a four year old girl.

Only time we don't call a lady ma'am is when she ain't acting like a lady. If she's rude, instead of saying "Howdy ma'am" we'll just say "Howdy" and be on about our business.
I think northern influence has made a whole lotta southern belles cringe whenever "ma'am" is being used. You somewhat start believing that "ma'am" is for old folks, and that manners really don't mean that much.

It's real sad, and I'm guilty myself of letting the d..yankees (jk lol) be running the show.

Fortunately that influence you're talking about seems to have not propagated this far south.

I strongly recommend moving down here, as long as anybody moving down here leaves northern behavior up north when they move.

There are many different kinds of lynx - Eurasian, Iberian, Canadian and etc. The bobcat is even a kind of lynx, although the bobcat is like the awkward cousin that shows up at the family reunion every year even though nobody invites him.

Me, I'm an american lynx. But I ain't no bobcat.

I prefer to be called "Hey You, the woman buying only cans of frosting and lean cuisine" or "Ma'am...the woman wearing the mickey mouse ears in public" but...I'm not picky.

(I just know someone's going to be upset but this makes sense and should be said lol)
so by process of elimination then,you are okay with being called baby doll,hot stuff,good looking,or rawrrrrr,as opposed to what has been said in the poll or has been said by you,correct? or would you like to change some answers? because in my view lady,maam,or gal,aren't half as lethal to a man as the one's I mentioned(never said them only heard them lol)you sure you can't live with some of those more than what I posted? just seemed lacking some of the really annoying phrases,instead of the more common phrases to be pestered by,as for me when meeting most anyone I say a name that fits everyone,Hi,call me weird but that's just how I talk to people and what I think anyone would want to be called(depending on context) or hello,put them on the list and I believe they will be winners to all of you in this poll! bye.

I don't have a preference. I'm fine with anything. Unless it's intended to be rude or hurtful.

I prefer being called "Kelly" because thats my name. I can live with "chick" and "gal" as well, but I'm afraid I'm not much of a lady. LOL.
