Hi ladies

[RudeElf]

Just. NO!

Same goes for "hi girls" "hi girlies" "hi mummies"

Stop it.

seeyou

Ah, I get it now.

Tis rather odd.

Oh God me too dozyoldtwonk

FFS it's a fucking minefield, will be scared to open my mouth soon staff and students cheering

I ain't no lady

(spits on floor)

'Hello comrades' is better.

Hail fellows well met?

It has a ring to it.....

seeyou Hi De Hi!

Meringue based dessert anyone?

G'day, sheilas

hepzibar I thought I was fully approved as I'm not a 'hun'er. How wrong can one be.

OP, so you just use plain old 'Hi'?

God I hate ladies or lady. It's vomtastic.

On mumsnet? No. I dont even 'hi' i just bomb into a board and post my problem.

To be fair, I'm a bit of a 'hi ladies' type in real life. But on Mumsnet you don't say hello, you just launch straight in and say your piece. Anyone who doesn't know that hasn't lurked long enough or is a 14 year old boy, or both.

Hi, Are we supposed to say hi first now? Thank you.

How you doin'?

No tooold!! no hi necessary.

How you doin'? (Joey from Friends style)

RudeElf Ah, I may be redeemed. I never 'Hi Ladies' on mumsnet, just bomb straight in too. 'Hi Ladies' on here screams hour I or researcher to me

I do in RL though.

Hi doll!

Brian would have said "Hi Yonis".

Joey style. I like it. I will start all my threads like that now. It will catch on. I know it.

I loathe ladies. Patronising, as is 'girls'.

I'm the only woman in a team of men and we have 4 female admin staff. My team were genuinely shocked that I picked them up on their use of 'ladies' and 'girls' when talking about the admin team.

Small victory - they never do it now.

Hour I = journo

Autocorrect fail again

RL is fine to say hi. I think greetings are expected in RL. Cant say i have ever used ladies. But hi is fine.

Hi ladies, hello ladies whatever always reminds me of some crappy dating type profile or TV programme.

Still clicked on it tho didn't I

All these years I've just been bursting onto threads and frothing forth my venomous opinions without saying hi first. I'm sorry ladies

'Hi, fuckers!'
