Did you ever want to say this?

If I'm angry, "Bite me" just ain't gonna do. It is sort of elementary schoolish. There's another word, we all know what I mean. I thought it a million times, but I recall only one time where I used it repeatedly. These two idiots dumped me out of an ambulance stretcher in a parking lot- I landed on my head-they never strapped me in.
BTW I truly wonder if that word is the only universally , world wide known/spoken word, it seems everybody knows it.
 
Had a male friend call me last night and said another male friend (a lawyer) ask him to call me and ask what I thought of him calling- referring to - older women in a weekly spiritual meeting "girls".

One of the "girls" was supposedly offended at this phrase.

I did tell him "who cares" ...just ask them what they want to have him refer to them as. Betting they won't know what to say.

Sometimes I wonder how we got to this place of being so easily offended by most everything - so critical. You certainly can't feel very free if you are in a perpetual state of being offended...think we simply need more humor in our lives. Cultivating the ability to see the ridiculous has an amazing balancing effect. LOL!

Just for the record, @Liberty I don't mind being referred to as "girl" or "the girls", not one bit. I often call my male friends "the boys". Nobody seems to mind. I don't know why someone would be offended by it unless it's delivered in an obviously snarky or condescending way. Go figure. 🤔

For awhile I learned to say 'enjoy your next 24 hours'
in place of 'have a nice day'

seemed to fluster folks
(rather gratifying)
My stepfather used to say to me "have a nice day" when he didn't like what I said to him.

I love your alternative......it sounds a bit more threatening, like they may not have that many more hours to.....enjoy.o_O
