Hope it goes well for him. I would see that phrase grounds for divorce if JKP even imagined using it. Is girlie acceptable for you? My Candid Camera day today so Swipey may be unboxed tonight. @DEBBIESCOTT PT at 8 pm - stunning work ethic. Go Team D, you got this.

I tend to use 'Menfolk' and 'BlokeShape' interchangeably and haven't had any push back so far.

I am on the receiving end of 'Girlie' at times as well, which is fine if the intent behind it is benign, which it is with the BlokeShape. Other people would be quite likely to be on the business end of a Paddington Stare if they tried it. It's all in the context! :):)

Fair enough. Being born in Cambridge I'm clearly a woke liberal snowflake. I've simply never heard anyone use the phrase and thank God heartily for that.

I'm not convinced I've heard anyone else use it, clearly my own special usage. I have a group of female friends and we tend to refer to ourselves as 'girls' (I'm 2nd youngest, girls we really are not!), which is fine, but would not be if anyone else used it at us.

Context is all! (Also a liberal snowflake type, and proud of it :cool: )
