Is it just me? "Miss" prefix before my first name makes me feel old. Are we on the same page where the address of Sir is offensive too?

Goof ball. LOL! I'm glad to hear it. I'm not sure if it's just a cultural thing or what. I just have never understood the great offense to it. I could understand if a person were referring to another person as a derogatory term like Ahole or along those lines. I don't get the offense to the respectfulness.

Not to worry (Miss, Mrs, Ms pick one) MarciKS because like many many many other members here who enjoy a good laugh I always enjoy your delicious sense of humor. There will always be people who stoop to what they perceive as personal slights however real or imagined. Thick or thin skinned notwithstanding.
 
In my neck of the woods it was always considered being polite to address menfolk as 'Sir'.

If people accost me on the street and call me Sir.......they're usually after a donation of cash.

If ladies address me as Sir, they most likely see me as an old fart.

However, if ladies address me as 'Darling', my eyes light up and I go and get a quick shave. šŸ˜Š

But, if a bloke calls me 'Darling', he gets a smack in the nose.

Do I get offended being called, Sir............not at all..........could you pass me my sword and give me a hand to put my armour on? šŸ˜Š

Me either. I just wondered if the men were as touchy about the Sir thing. I find it amusing because in the southern states it's a form of respect. Yet other places it sets their teeth on edge.

Marci, I didn't know that about some men.
BTW, I like your avatar!
