Him/Herself as a title.....for the Irish in all of us!

The Irish have a way of referring to someone that I find unique and something worth emulating. It is referring to that person as Himself or Herself. "How is Himself this evening?" You immediately know that they are referring to someone they highly consider.

The reason I consider this worth something is that no one would be using that stupid phrase "my Sir/Ma'am" anymore. That is, if I could be influential in anyway. "girl, where is your Sir/Ma'am/Dominant/Master/Mistress at?" "Himself/Herself is having a cigarette with the others." While it may not be .... grammatically correct, it does have a certain 'air' about it. It would still sound better if they would refer to their dominant by his or her name rather than by a title. Less confusing.

I do not ever expect anyone to stop using that idiot phrase: my Sir/Ma'am, but wouldn't it be grand if they did?

'Course then, someone would be grousing about the use of Him/Herself.........

to dominant or not to dominate......

Are you a Dominate or Dominant?

How you spell it I think, determines if you are paying attention or simply don't know any damn better.

I have to admit that I used to use dominate. Spell check said it was ok....but that I needed to change the order of the words......ok.....now how did it want me to rearrange things?

Now, when I see people making the same damn mistake again and again.....AND again I want to slap them stupid.

Ooops, I'd be too late wouldn't I?

When you gently point out their mistake....and they say, "It doesn't matter. People know what I mean.", you want scream, "Yah idiot...they know you mean yer too stupid to know the difference!"

Sheesh.

I know, I know...I rant and rave about my sir, my ma'am and the stupid way it sounds and no one listened. I'll rant and rave about this and no one will listen.....

But they will know exactly what I think of them. Yup.

Dat's ok. They would be suprised at just how many people do agree with me. Now, I dunno if they agree with me because they think I'm going to whack them with my cane or that they recognized sound thinkin' when they hear it.

I'll tell ya....if you don't want to sound like yer a complete loser, remember this: You are a Dominant. What you do is dominate. I could go into verb, noun, blah blah but this is more simple: what you are, what you do.

I could give other rules, but simple usually works best.
