Buffy ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
To clarify, if I was to address a group of female Bitches with a cheerful "Hello, ladies", would I be offending people?
Nah. It's not an offensive word by itself - it's very context related. That kind of thing is a-okay by most people, I think.
Kristin explained the athletic team thing well - that's a specific case where it's really bothersome. It's not the only one, but it's probably the most obvious.
In conclusion, "okay lady, I love you, bye bye!"

Wouldn't offend me in the least.
Oh GG. That's horrifying.
/me sics Mindy and Katie KaBoom on Gadget Girl's Draconian Dictator.
oh my goodness, GG. Shouldn't they give you more notice if only to prepare your lesson plans?
yay for the good Lucy news, Brenda!

Yep, they should. They seem to be totally disregarding all formalities and pleasantries. My job sucks. I was basically told to do the job or quit.
WindSparrow and company...please BRING IT! I'll leave the keys to the front office by the Pirate guarding the front door of the admin office.
Jessica! You're in my brain again!
It's so comfy and HAWT in here!
In the sports context "lady" is like using "sculptress". Sculptors are by default male. A woman who does sculpture needs her own word because plain old "sculptor" can't include her. That is offensive and so is "lady" applied to teams where the male version needs no gendered modifier.
Good news, brenda! Fast-recovery~ma for Lu.

Do it dressed in your finest new Goth apparel as a nice signal finger. Bastards. Ignorant, backwater, just this side of hillbilly, submoronic, wastes of DNA.
