What do you call women? (1 Viewer)

[7 - No tomorrow]

I need something to yell at women that walk out on the street in front of my bike.
I use "Dude!" for guys.
Am currently using "Honey! Honey" (First 'Honey' is an alert, second 'honey' gets a dismayed headshake)
I feel there's a better solution.
Sister? Darlin'? Lady?

i'm a "sir" and "miss" man myself. sometimes "ma'am"

I'm also still in the habit of calling grown women 'girls'

Like can you say "I met this really nice girl at the weekend", when you're talking about a 30-year-old (grown-ass) woman?

Maybe Ma'am works

Not sure it conveys all the urgency I want, but probably better than "honey"

 

[David Kronenbourg]

if you are in NYC then "LADY, GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY WAY" should suffice.

Need to maintain some veneer of politeness, my aim is to warn, not insult.

I will call dudes anything. Had this stupid cunt chase me for half a mile in his Jaguar yesterday because I flipped him off. We were jawing away pretty good.
Had another guy chase me down two weeks ago, black dude with a chihuahua on his lap, like Cuba Gooding in As Good As it Gets threatening to kill me.
One of these days one of them will have a gun.

I say "chick" quite a bit. But that's probably monstrously uncool and kind of more for people you know.

Love usually works in Dublin

I think chick is okay when you're being positive. Like "she is just the fucking most awesome chick"

If you're saying "Oh man, total fucking chick move there" you're on shakier ground.

Please don't unless she is 60+.

Please don't unless she is 60+.

it was a joke

 

[Jill Hives]

You've got an accent so 'love' works.
Honey is kind of like chick.

I'd say 'lady' works best.

.

works in what sense?

 

[Jill Hives]

I wasn't talking about you.
Love works in America when you have an accent.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

gotcha.

"honey chil'?"

Irish people can't say "ma'am" properly.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

It thought it was Missus in Irish. It's not rude but they know you're talking to them.

 

[nooleen]

can't you just shout 'hey!'?
or 'oi, dickhead!'

 

[David Kronenbourg]

"here! move, will ye!"
