Patronising People in Business - "thanks for that, good girl!"

Re: Patronising People in Business

I can understand why people get annoyed with the good girl thing but I think it does depend on how it is said. I know that I am guilty of saying it out of genuine gratitude and relief, as in 'good girl, thank you so much' and I've heard the 'good lad, thanks a million ' often at work ,and said in the same spirit.

I have to say I've never had it said in a genuine way, only a pervy leechy kinda way!
 
Re: Patronising People in Business

I would never ever use the term good girl, well unless i was talking to a female child.

Good lad is very different. Good girl is equal to good boy and i would have words with the man/women who said it to me. (unless they were a client for a very expensive project:eek:)

I only get the patronising way.....still waiting on the Lechy way!

And what if a woman said it to another woman in a lechy way! Double YUK!
 
Re: Patronising People in Business

How many of those who are offended at being called a girl still claim to go 'out for a night with the girls'?
 
Re: Patronising People in Business

I agree, even though I never use the term girls, unless I am referring to female children ie. girls!
 
Re: Patronising People in Business

How about "the girl in the shop" etc?
Women use the term more than men.
