It depends on who is saying it to me and how they are saying it...

Usually it's just someone being politehappy

I don't know, I have heard men say it with a sexy southern drawl and a wink and it made me what to show him just what a ma'am, I am.:tongue:

Yes Maam, this Southern boy will always respectfully wink at ya'!love flowerforyou I'll even open the doors for you, hold your hand crossing the street and set your chair for you.:heart:

It's sad, a lot of kids today don't know how to be gentlemen.

I think missy, the old lady, dear, are some of the condescending terms.

Anyone who knows me or has read my posts knows, I ain't no boy scout.laugh

I don't limit the above to just women. Old men, little kids, will see a hand extended to help them out. Can't count the times I've walked arm-in-arm with a man to help steady them or a little kid who has hurt themselves. Picking the child up, holding them close and making sure they are ok.

At first, when someone called me that I didn't like it because my grandmother raised us to say Ma'm. I felt really old. Yet, I do know it's a form of respect and when a younger person says it to me, know that they were raised well.

As a born & bred Southern woman, I can testify to that, Sistah!

As long as they don't call me Pookie or anything equally offensive...I'm
OK with it...

I don't care for it but it does show some manners. I just tell them my name so they can use that next time.
