Random weird thought (yah, I know I never post but I'm trying to get back into by warming myself up over on Facebook):
Am I the only one who hates the phrase "screamed like a little girl?" I know in some ways it is referring to a male shrieking and it being so high pitched that it sounds feminine. But still...to me it wraps in connotations of someone being weak/a scaredy cat/etc...and links it with the concept of "girl." I find it just as offensive as "pitches like a girl." And I make sure I don't say it to my kids.
Pete said it today and I discussed it with him tonight. He hadn't thought of it in that way. I'm curious if I'm the only one who thinks of it in that way.
