Good of you to take the time to explain yourself here and that is appreciated.

I just assumed you were up to some mischief with that question yesterday, thats all there was to it.

As far as the word - I'm not all that familiar with it but think it has something to do with insulting men by giving them women qualities, that is the one way to insult a guy the most and we hear references to it all the time.

Like you I have learned a lot from DU and don't use certain words now (still do some pretty hefty general swearing tho but am working on that) and don't try to tell people how they should feel about something if it's not possible for me to have Been in that situation.

sorry about yesterday, but things work out fine usually, don't they.
