I just got this random thought while surfing blogs…
Why men are called gentlemen? Is it because they are gentle? Are they all gentle? What if the man isn't gentle? Why do we generalize it?
I know women are gentle. Are they called gentle women? Not as far as I know. Why aren't women called gentle women just like men are called gentle men?
Lets rehearse this,,
Ladies and gentle men
Gentle ladies and gentle men
Gentle ladies and men
None of them sounds good, hmmm
Gentle people
Gentle crowd
Gentle creatures
Gentle both genders
Hmmmmm
Hope this gentle post doesn't keep me sleepless tonight.
entee laish em3qda 7ayatech :P go eat
ReplyDeletewith gentlemen, maybe it is just the same case as when you address a company with mo7tarameen while they r not!
ReplyDeletePurg,
ReplyDeleteI eat, mako fayda :p
Vintage,
It doesn’t rhyme!
Poet,
You got it, that’s what I was thinking of :)
Because when a woman is addressed as a "Lady" that is already a term of respect as opposed to plain "woman". Gentleman of course is the equivalent of Lady. Both refer to members of the human race who have higly refined manners, equisite taste, and pure blood :P
ReplyDeleteJewaira, LOL
ReplyDeleteand what is what I realized today morning, but needed confirmation :p
typo!
ReplyDeletethat is what...

ReplyDeleteThe voice of wisdom :)
Vintage,
He likes to hide in the dustbin
She likes kiss his chin
:p
How about this? ;)
ReplyDeleteGentle in her touch
And tender as such
He knows it’s her
The one to die for
she runs to the door
ReplyDeletetrips on the floor
as she remembers the time they met in Singapore
tell me more that it is me you adore
He holds her close and whispers in her ear
ReplyDelete“I adore you” and he sounds so sincere
And lots of words she likes to hear
He promises to be with her year after year
eat more so you can put some meat on that skinny body ;)
ReplyDeletepoet,
ReplyDeleteshe sheds a tear
as he holds her near
he tells her there's nothing to fear;
our future together is crystal clear
vintage,

ReplyDeleteFlamingoliya,
ReplyDeleteWe could say: Ladies and Gentle Girls, and those who are called Men.
I agree with you flami, the public should judge and I know they will vote for me :p
ReplyDeleteso here it goes:
He wipes away her tears
And thank god that he answered his prayers
And sent an angel from heaven
The most precious gift he was ever given
True faith,
ReplyDeleteLOL.. i liked that!

gentle is a man
ReplyDeletewho has a secret fan
she knows its him
the only man who has no sin
He likes to hide in the dustbin
She likes kiss his chin
Gentle in her touch
And tender as such
He knows it’s her
The one to die for
she runs to the door
trips on the floor
as she remembers the time they met in Singapore
tell me more that it is me you adore
He holds her close and whispers in her ear
“I adore you” and he sounds so sincere
And lots of words she likes to hear
He promises to be with her year after year
she sheds a tear
as he holds her near
he tells her there's nothing to fear;
our future together is crystal clear
He wipes away her tears
And thank god that he answered his prayers
And sent an angel from heaven
The most precious gift he was ever given
she wears a dress made of scarlet linen
sets the table and serves him her homemade fresh chicken
they speak,eat, laugh and compete
everything now feels so perfect and complete
