EngrComm. The prof was talking about sexist language, and how we shouldn't use gender-specific nouns or pronouns to refer to people in general.

Prof: What other term could you use for a mailman?
Class: Mail carrier.
Prof: What about stewardess?
Class: Flight attendant.
Prof: What about male nurse?
Class: Just nurse.
Prof: Okay, think about this one. What about Lady Longhorns?
Class: *pause* *silence*
One person: Can't we just call them cows?

classes, skits, amusing
