Re: film, go... From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: film, go... Patrick Mason correctly points out my glaring ommission of SPORTS, SPORTS, SPORTS for male gossip (though I know a number of men who would be highly insulted if I termed their Monday morning quarter-backing 'gossip'). There is no female equivalent I can think of -- does anyone have a suggestion. ------- There are some parallels with talk of shopping / fashion / makeup. This shows if you are in the "game" of keeping up with the latest tournament / style / top team / colors. It is competitive in terms of showing off who got the best deal / play-analysis / prediction / hair-do. It is a medium for one-up-person-ship [however friendly] and an excuse to socialize, a way to get to know each other within some socially defined framework. Or something like that. Lisa
