*ring, ring*
Me: Hello? Dad?
MD: Well? What's another word for 'old hag'
Me: What..? What are you asking me? What are you doing?
MD: I'm writing a complaint letter and need another word for 'old hag'. A more professional word.
Me: There is no professional word for old hag. You cannot use this in a letter. Don't use this in a letter.
MD: I want to say she's a bitter old single lady so besides 'old hag', what other words can I use?
Me: Look, you can comment on her awful attitude or behavior but you can't call someone an old hag!
MD: I want to say bitch... do you think that will work?
Me: No! You cannot call someone a hag and you cannot call someone a bitch in a letter!!
MD: She really was an old hag.
Me: Look Dad, just don't call her an old hag.
MD: Well if you can't tell me another word I'll just have to use old hag.
*hangs up*
Me: Hello? Hello?
