Title: Jus wondering is all...... Post by raydawg on 11/08/12 at 18:02:30 If a chick strips her bike down to the nitty-gritty, you know the minimalist look, is this called a "bobette"? |

Title: Re: Jus wondering is all...... Post by babyhog on 11/08/12 at 18:07:57 But don't most folks (especially men) refer to their bikes in a feminine sense anyway? "I took 'her' for a spin today"... etc. But this "chick" for one ain't ridin' no "bobette" ;) |

Stripped to the nitty-gritty? That would be called a Sally Rand. 8-) Google it if you must. |

Bikes, cars, trucks, boats, trains, ships, etc... Actually in most other romance languages, objects have gender anyway; including tables, chairs, paper, computers, trees, etc. I think the feminine substitution in American english, however, stems more from the redneckian hillwilliam vernacular. |

Title: Re: Jus wondering is all...... Post by Cavi Mike on 11/08/12 at 19:15:33 I don't know any real bike or car men that call them her/she/etc. The only men(boys) that call them that are the ones that are trying to come off as real gear heads. They're the first ones to sell their rides when the trends change. Real gear heads call them "it" and they're also the ones that would prefer to be around "it" than around a real human being. As far as ships are concerned - that's more tradition than anything else. Ships are always called "she" even when they're labeled with men's names. |

I don't know anything about this, but I think i remember reading in "the hunt for red october" that the russians call their ships and boats "he" instead of "she" |

Well, if she has a kitchen knife and wants to wack your kickstand off, then I suppose you could refer to her as Mrs. Bobette. |
