denotation will probably follow in our lifetime. In casual conversation/writing, the word "guy" is transitioning to refer to any person when gender is unknown. Probably because the plural has already become a reference to any group of people regardless of the gender mix.

For example, when dropping off my son early for school this morning I overheard a teenage girl turn to three other girls and say, "are you guys coming or not?" The plural is already there. The singular is likely to do the same fairly rapidly. Still can sound awkward to our ears, but over the weekend my eldest referenced a favor a female friend did for him with, "yeah, she's always a great guy!" Maybe it doesn't sound so awkward to Gen Zs.

Now, in this case I wouldn't at all be surprised if it's an assumption the owner/driver of the truck is male. I just find our dynamic language fascinating and my feminist ears will be especially tuned in to this particular shift to see if my prediction is correct.

Every one of voting age would still know the quote without spelling out EVERY word. Most parents i know would be mortified to pull up behind that truck with their 7 yr old girl sitting with them. "Most". I do know a few who probably say worse!
But nobody cares about stuff like that anymore. Its all about attention.

I remember hearing it in first grade on the schoolyard, back in 1951. We didn't know what it meant, really, but we knew it got adults all worked up, so it was a great word.

I doubt that has changed, and it's still a word that gets adults all worked up. So, it still is useful.

Whether kids know the meanings or not isnt the point. It shouldnt be posted out there. Because we're SUPPOSED to be a semi-civil society. Just like no city would allow a sign with vulgarity on it. Just because trump is a dick doesnt mean everyone else has to be just like him.

Trump has already changed the lexicon for American speech. "Shithole" has become an acceptable word in media, and even "pussy hats", that were named for his favorite place to grab, is ok.

Having said that, I'd never do this to my car, or at least I wouldn't drive it in the day. Come to think of it, that may make the legal difference for such free speech. Plus, it could make some parents irate regardless of politix. Not worth it.

Totally fawning all over her, saying it was so wonderful to have such a lovely and elegant first lady. I about gagged and took it as kind of a backhand insult to a real first lady like Michelle Obama.

This is actually the first girl I ever danced with as a kid, so I can't be mean to her. But God was testing me there! I'm still not sure how I resisted the temptation. You have to know what I thought needed to be done. Post the naked pics of Mailordia, call her that, and say, "whoa! That's one hot b!t(h! I'd love to grab that pussy!" LOL
