The term girl is a term of endearment. This is a black and southern trait the use of ‘girl’. Southerners tend to be formal and do not refer to non-intimates by their first name. Its ‘Mrs Jones’ or ‘Miz Cathy’if you are close, and only ‘Cathy’ to very close friends and family. People do not refer to or speak to their elders by first name. Using the term girl is taking it to the other extreme, it implies extreme familiarity. In spanish this is also done, ‘nena’ and ‘chica’ are used among close friends. One you call ‘girl’ is someone who is a peer, an equal and implies a certain intimacy. Many people do not like to be referred to by their names, they feel they are private. So using a persons name isnt neccessarily something they would want or desire. I dislike when sales people or my childrens teachers use my first name in conversations with me. I feel they are being overly familiar. nina

As my father says, there is nothing wrong with your hair, there is something wrong with your comb.

African Americans often see viewing a movie in public, or even at home, as a communal event. EVERY movie is like a showing of the Rocky Horror Picture show, half the fun is the audience participation and hearing the comments of others, Thats what makes the movie experience different. My husband and I dance salsa and other latin dances, and we LOVE to go out dancing. Why, I asked? We can dance together at home and play whatever we want to hear. But its dancing with other couples who are dancing that makes it an event.
