One of my profs often calls us "chaps". He often says, "listen, chaps" or "good morning, chaps". Anyway, I am sure I don't need to spell it out for you. Our boss in Ireland used to call us "lads" all the time and I said, "but i'm a girl," and they said it didn't matter, everyone was "lads." I realized that in Canada I say "guys" all the time in the same way. These three countries have general male terms for all people. I think we should come up with other cute little terms but maybe I am being persnickety (my mom calls me that sometimes).
