Emily and others,
Oops, sorry. You are correct, I should have remained gender UNspecific. I
am so used to the hobby being dominantly male-driven that I sometimes
forget that there are women who are in the arena, too. My apologies to
anyone whom I may have offended, male and female.
The origin of the term came from my best friend, Stephanie, and it stuck
because everyone who's heard the term has understood the meaning (because
of the stereotype I would guess...). I did not mean to be a typical
male-pig talking down about women (or is that a stereotype also? :)
However, please lower your hackles. A gentle reminder would suffice -- I
don't need my head bitten off, 'kay?

P.S. Since I, too, can be concerned with my hair (especially since the
damn stuff grows *forward*, not backwards) maybe we should rename the term
-- any suggestions out there?

Female???? Some females, like me, might take issue with that *crappy*
stereotype. I can think of more than a few men more concerned with their
coiffeur than me.
In the interest of remaining gender-neutral, please refrain from propagating
these outdated views. We females DO have greater concerns than our
beehives, like restoring Notchbacks.
