Op instead of you to address an uncouth woman you're here addressing the man's choice of response to her greetings. Why didn't the useless lady in question just make her point and walk away. And for heaven's sake which police man arrested that man for answering her greeting with my dear. Like what was the charge? What exactly was he arrested for? Nigerians please let's stop encouraging the rot in our system. If she felt slighted by his response to her greetings she should have just addressed it and not gone to drag his shirt. Well I just guess this story didn't happen ijustdey: 2 Likes |

AmazonTopaz:oh sorry I've edited it. I don't think anyman will allow another man to call his wife my dear. Even in the civilised country especially USA if you address a woman or lady as "my dear" she will correct you instantly that she's married or has a boyfriend depending on which of them she has. Kindly check out the meaning of "dear" you will see something like "regarded with deep affection" now add "my" to it as a determiner or adjective. 1 Like |

The safest way in life is to mind your business and face your issues. Just learn to live a peaceable life. You should not act if you need only speak. You should not speak when a smile is all that is necessary. You need not smile when a courteous nod will do. Be a mystery to people. Be an unopened book longing to be read. 5 Likes |

incogni2o:I have known the meaning of the word dear since I was a child so do not try to insult me. It is one of the words I am very familliar with and I tend to use it often with no strings attached to it. Whoever chooses to misinterpret definitely has issues that word can never put me in trouble.If you don't like my usage of the word to you just tell me simple and I would stopcalling you that. |
