1. "Sir" still is a term of respect |
|
He has not earned that from me.

9. I'd disagree completely that it is a term of respect |

if it pisses him off. Everything in context.
I could call you "Your Magesty" but that doesn't make you the Queen of England, nor does it imply I believe you to be.

2. I have a few other choice words for him. |

But mom always told me not to say anything at all if I had nothing nice to say. :-)

His ego was bruised. O arrogant one, you have not earned the respect of your countrymen. can't wait for Nov.
i cannot in good conscious refer to him as Sir, though.

6. Does he like being called "fuckhead"? |
|
That's about as nice a term as I can use for him.

it turns out, according to Josh Marshall, that the reporter had a cell phone to his ear when he asked the question. that pisses me off too.

"Sir" in the south is often used as a form of disdain. It's a very old idea and probably held over from the British, perhaps a layer of slaves getting back too.
It is said with great irony, noting that the person who is "sir-ed" doesn't, in fact, deserve to be called "Sir."
On second thought, probably all of this is way too subtle for pea-brained *.

11. Probably too subtle, yes. |
|
And he's not from the south really, either. :shrug: But it's always nice to get the cultural context behind usage. :hi:

13. Too bad the incident isn't getting more attention in the media. |

Bush is the biggest asshole ever to occupy the White House. F-ing squatter.
