one who doesn't seem to know that the plural of aviatrix is 'aviatrices'.
neither are terms used or in favour with many female fliers

don't quite know why that is . . .. . maybe they think it is somehow discriminatory or just that the words themselves grate on the ear . . .

many an actor of the female gender prefers to be known as an 'actor' rather than an 'actress'.

it is now a cliche to say 'the hostess with the mostest'

it is not nice to make jokes about modess in mixed company
let alone raise the subject of surf boards

(way way off topic . . . ..bet a lot have no idea what getting off at Redfern means
or that billiards term 'in off the red'?)

think this qualifies as thread hijack almost

well Dick , . . . throw a party and if you go about it the right way . . .' and the party never ends . . . . .' will you hire a band?
