- gallant... Hmmmmm
-
-
- I looked the word up. See, we don't use these high falutin' words
- 'round here.
-
- gallant (gal'ant), adj. 3. polite and attentive to women
-
-
- Mrs Frank, "Teddy! TEDDY! Get your ass in here right now and
- wipe the dishes or you won't get layed this year either!!"
-
- Around these parts, Ted types are referred to as pusses or mommas boy,
- never gallant. But then again, maybe he thinks it is noble to submit like
- a dog whose just strewn the garbage all over the garage. You know the
- look they have..... that incredibly stupid look. Nose down, eyes up.
- Some people just don't know any better.
