Terminology

First, I'd like to say thanks for the responses I've got to my guilt/shame question. I appreciate what you've said and you've helped me process through this a little more. Also, I'm going to do a post about Pride and how that went, but not tonight. I have another question for y'all.

So when you're talking about males, you can say "guys" and it seems to suggest a person who's around my age. It doesn't sound as old as "man" or as young as "boy." What is the in between for females? "Woman" would be old, "girl" would be young, and the middle would be...?

Gal? Lady? Chick? What's the comparable term?

Amy fact of the day: my favorite band is Incubus.

Well, everyone knows that the female equivalent of "guy" is "doll"!

It's just girl. But what a cute question :)

So if I say "wow, I saw this really hot girl," I don't sound like a pedophile? I'd like to avoid that.

Amy - just use the word chick
I wouldn't be offended
