What in the name of ****?

[xotoxi]

I just received a letter that starts:

Dear Gentleperson,

Thank you for...

WHAT THE **** IS GENTLEPERSON???

Is that even a word?

Good and Heavenly Christ! What ever happened to "To Whom It May Concern:"?

[Dis]

You're making it up.

 

[Baruch Menachem]

I got a couple Nigerian emails addressed that way.

 

[xotoxi]

You're making it up.

Nope. Not in the least.

And the letter had my name and address at the top...and my name is not gender-ambiguous.

It should have said "Dear Dr. Xxxxxxx" or "Dear Sir" or "To Whom It May Concern:"

Gentleperson is just plain weahd.

Was it by chance from one of your rectal exam patients??

"Have a nice day."

"Don't tell me what kind of ******* day to have!"

Nope. Paralegal looking for records.

Gentleperson demeaning to your manhood or something?

Gentleperson demeaning to your manhood or something?

No...it's just a word I'd never heard used before.

I guess my rant is sounding a little like a Pubes-style whine.

Naah.

I don't think I have ever been addressed in that way either. But perhaps I got used to it from reading some SCIFI. It seems to be somewhat popular in the future

It means aristocrat, blue blood, patron, noble born.
First known usage was in the early 1940s.

I'm none of those.

I would love to get an official letter sometime that says "Dear ************,"

I would redact sensitive information and then frame it!

How about "Dear NotherFukker"?

I've read it in British novels, though not as a greeting in correspondence.

If you go back to the original use of that word, I'm pretty sure you will find a silent C just before the double K...as can be seen in my sig image.

And, yes...that would also work to tickle my fancy.

Ah yes, I see I misspelled it.

I will have to add it to my firefox dictionary so this does not happen again.

I am so embarrassed.
