    So, now SWMBO has chipped me for being inappropriate.
    I often say, & admit I probably shouldn't, to our boys "Stop acting like a girl!"
    SWMBO has informed me that this is no longer acceptable.
    I have been instructed that "Stop acting like a Wuss. is OK.
    I asked if "Stop acting like a soccer player." was OK.
    SWMBO said that was fine as long as I clarified that Female soccer players were not included!
    I have decided to just tell he to "Pull their heads in!".

    Come on Jonesfam, be a MAN, if it is acceptable to say that, or you could say "stop acting like a gender neutral person"

    The brain is a bit slow. Just had a thought. Perhaps we should say "Stop acting like a GNP"

    Perhaps 'Person Of Neutral Gender', i.e. 'PONG' would be apt?

    Seems that Coon wasn't enough. Apparently the tune of the Carlton Football Club song is from some old song that has racist connotations thanks to Bing Crosby, and now it is verboten. The tune, mind you, NOT the words.

    Words fail me. Reckon I might join OldGuy and live underground at Coober.

    You will definitely be pinged for saying ponged. I am always non PC when talking to the kids just because it winds them up so much.

    And if they teamed up with someone who is "Practiced In Neutral Gender" you'd have PING and PONG.

    Instead of having their gender in neutral maybe they should put it in gear and get on with life.
