When to use the term ladies, girls, etc

This is awesome. I particularly like the question of men "Are you sure you aren't creepy?" before being able to call us ladies. Did one of you make this after the lurkers creepy H came on?

My teaching team consists of an older woman, a gay man, and another girl my age. The male teacher jokingly calls us "the lady and the girls." I find it hilarious.

I loathe gals. I want to punch stuff when someone says gals.

LOL! I use "ladies" and "folks" often.

Hey, you're good as long as your intention is to sound slightly class, slightly TIC, but possible piss off the first wave of feminists. LOL.

Men saying "ladies" is usually creepy. I imagine them talking about lady issues and the like. But sometimes it can sound condescending from another woman.
