Heard on Jerry

[Wilson Gray]

One thirty-ish, white woman to another thirty-ish white woman:

"I take care of him [her jobless boyfriend, who has been seduced by
her heretofore best friend] and I take care our child, _son_!"


That's a step beyond the unisex use of _guy_.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"––a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
–Mark Twain
