Hey YOU GUYS. The other day, I taught an adult class and started with LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. To break the ice, I then told a funny story that my DAUGHTER told me about my MOTHER. Everyone laughed, so I proceeded to tell a similar funny story that my FATHER told me about my SON. Everyone laughed again, so I asked if there were any spouses in the audience who would like to share a story, and a WIFE stood up and told one about her HUSBAND, how he was having problems getting MANPOWER at work.
Is anyone offended?
Not in the slightest. All used to be part of normal speech and I make it a habit to use most of those in my normal speech
Definitely NOT offensive. They are part of the English language, and have been for centuries.
If anyone finds them offensive, they are the ones with the problem. Get over it!
San Francisco wants to be the word "chief" in their schools, because they say it's racist. lol

not offensive. i know we can't say them but not offensive.
I suppose it may be offensive to some people but not to me. They are all words I grew up with except for the "manpower" thing wasn't something I really came across.
No.
Most if not all are offensive to the looney left. They don't like holsum family things. They scratch till they find something to offend them.
No, they are just words and not offensive ones. I'm puzzled as to why you might suggest that they are offensive?
Someone call a publisher to give you a book deal I think you’d be an enrichment to the fantasy department
