It took me the longest time to realise that the actor that played Chuck (Michael McKean) was also David St. Hubbins from Spinal Tap.

Yep same. And I only truly realised coz of the sequel as I've always mixed up McKean with John Ritter - which for obvious reasons isn't possible anymore.

Imagine navigating this sort of thing if you're in France, where mademoiselle is used for single or young women, and madame is for married or older women.Loading…

I chucked this on reddit cause I managed what offend someone at work. I’ve now learned that in Australia you can call someone the C work but using sir and ma’am is a no no

If someone gets offended by being called sir or ma’am they’re a ****head.
Mind you ma’am has never been part of my vocabulary and I haven’t used sir since I left school
I just call everyone mate

I use ma'am for the occasional old lady, but that's about it. Never use sir.

You've used "your honour" a fair bit though.

Don't kink shame!
If you're a cop or in the military using sir/ma'am to your superiors is expected but I wouldn't think it would actually properly offend too many people in the real world.
Unless you add "you're making a scene" I guess.
Even teachers were Mr/Miss/Whatever Surname not Sir/Ma'am

Did Vish misgender someone and that's what the real issue is here?
Nope. Funny thing is that I call my regular some inappropriate nicknames but this time I was actually being serious and trying to be polite.
I’ve call people Sir/ma’am for years and have had the odd occasion when someone look around and then point to themselves and go”me” as a joke. I’ve also had a couple times when someones would tell me their names after I’ve called them sir/ma’am. This was the first instance someone was pissed off.
Those words are in my vocabulary because I was taught to use them on elder (growing up) to be respectful. I guess it’s cause British use it and it spread to its Subcontinent colonies.

Has anyone been to the Beauty and the Beast musical at Crown and can comment on if there are any males in the audience?

Oh so now we need a 'valid reason' to yell at Vish? So much for the tolerant left

I used to use “sir” instead of “your honour/your worship” for court appearances because it was easier than stopping and thinking “wait am I before a judge or a magistrate or a registrar or what”.
But for female judges/magistrates/registrars you don’t say “sir”, you say “ma’am” but pronounce it like “marrm” which just sounds bloody stupid. I think I used that once, hated it and went back to “your honour”, or whatever it was that day.
True story.

Maybe I just command more respect than I thought.

I always wondered if it was just a US TV show thing to use "your honour" and if it was applicable in the WA courts. I'd rather not call someone your worship though, that's just Game of Thrones level f*cken ridiculous.

I don’t mind the Sir thing, but the first person to offer me their seat on the bus is getting a kick in the stones…

When I first got out of uni Magistrates were “your worship”, they changed to be “your honour” like judges not long after that though, which made things less confusing.

I assume referring to someone as "your worship" implies that they're worthy of worshipping? Do they expect to be worshipped by everyone in the courtroom or just lawyers who respect the hard work that they have put in to reach the position? Just such a weird title.

You clearly know nothing of the aura of anonymity my friend.Dude everyone on here knows your surname, it was your previous username and it's on your podcast.
That's why you'll never be a 'sir'.

It probably just originates from whatever was the tradition in 16th century England, I wouldn’t try to be too literal about it.
