    Yeah I dunno how chick or babe could be sexist or offensive in any sense. But uh, okay!

    I like saying chick. Chick is good. But I'm pretty much with Shiny on this one. Come on guys let's go to a movie!

    I don't think chick or babe is sexist, I just hate those words. One of my friends called me doll which was kinda nice. Actually most of my male friends start sentences with "hey sexy", which I won't complain about. xD Or I've been called missy before, which is kinda cute. As long as they don't call me babe, it's all good.

    I prefer to not use deragotory terms when I adress women. I usually just use young ladies/young women. Im old fashioned, what can I say.
    It looks like the ground had a sex change.

    The preferable term of address to a female of the species is "toots".

    I call everybody both genders "you". Unless I know their name.

    Honestly I don't much care what I'm called XD My boyfriend calls me geek/nerd/dork/chix0r which are all my personal favorites though

    I call others of the female persuasion either girls or chicks. Or "lady" if they're considerably older than myself. xP

    "You," as in "Hey, <i>you</i> make me a ham sandwich."

    Either I'll call a girl by her first name or chick.

    Calling girls "chicks" is whatever. Calling ME a chick is baaad and I will kick you in the nuts for it. Ugh. Chicks. I am not a damn bird.

    I prefer lady, babe, and girl.

    Haha, here in England bird is itself another slang term for women

    I like girl and boy though, to be honest. As long as someone's about the same age as me I'll call them that. Guys works as well, of course, having become gender neutral. Obviously, you can't use it to an individual female though xD

    Toots is still the best though.

    I don't see anything wrong with 'girl' and 'boy'.

    However, ladies is by far the most appropriate term.

    Yeah, you seriously look really classy with the girls when you use
    'ladies' at the end of your sentence.

    Example; "you look fan-bloody-tastic....ladies"

    It works well.
