Oh yeah - I’'d tip my hat to you, but I haven’t got a hat. ---

Why, thank you, kind sir, and may you have an extra-special holiday season. I _always_ appreciate a gentleman’s chivalrous deeds! ---

**Dropzone** I think that tipping your hat is just another example of the gentility of the past that has been lost on this generation. I do find it odd that so many comments are being made about opening the door for a lady. Perhaps it’s just my southern upbringing, but I always, without fail, open doors for ladies. I’ll even hold it open for their gentlemen companions. Is this not common? And if it is not common, is it at least not unusual? [mini-rant] I do get a bit miffed when I hold a door open and do not get so much as a thank you. I’ll continue to hold doors open because I feel it is the polite thing to do, but it is nice to get recognition. It’s not my career choice, you know.[mini-rant] ---

True story . . . I was walking down Broadway (I said I was WALKING Broadway, not WORKING Broadway), when a gentleman gave me the once-over and said, “MMM-mmm! You be baaaaad as a motherfucker!” I, being a well-brought-up gentlewoman, knew enough to return the compliment in kind. So I blushed prettily and said, “Why, thank you—I’m sure YOU be as bad as a motherfucker, too!” [P.S. he was delighted and probably dined out on it for days] ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tommy the Cat \* > **…Perhaps it’s just my southern upbringing…** Yeah, my Minnesota-via-Virginia upbringing helps. Had a public argument with a Virginian once. We spoke the same subtle “language” of tone, vocabulary, and facial expressions so none of the Chicagoans around us realized we were even disagreeing. It’s different down south. ---

Well, as I frequent GD, GQ, IMHO, and the Pit AND here, I think it’s sexy! Sort of dashing and debonair, like Rhett Butler. ---

Mine is: apple juice, cinnamon, cloves and lemon and orange slices heated up, add vodka to taste, add more vodka because some of the alcohol will cook off, add sugar to cut the alcohol taste because I used cheap vodka, then add more vodka for every degree below freezing it is outside. Not that I drink to a noticable extent anymore (recipes like that will show you why).\*\* Glogg without aquavit? Are you **mad**?? Here’s gramma’s recipe, but remember that a recipe for glogg is like a recipe for chili…none of them are right 😃 1 bottle akvavit 1 bottle red wine 10 cardamon seeds 5 whole cloves 3 pieces of dried orange peel (3/4 of one orange’s rind) 4 dried figs 1- inch cinnamon stick 1 cup blanched almonds 1 cup of raisins 1/2 pound of sugar cubes Place all except sugar cubes into saucepan. Cover and heat slowly until the boiling point. Remove from the heat. Put sugar in a long handle sieve. Dip into the hot liquid to moisten. Light the sugar with a match, dipping the sieve into the liquid until the sugsr has melted into the glogg mixture. Put the flame out and serve. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by chique \* > **Glogg without aquavit? Are you mad??** Yeah, I thought it was probably somewhere in there. And I forgot the wine and raisins–can you tell it’s been a while? So, the detritus at the bottom is supposed to include almonds and figs? Not surprised at the cardamon–you ARE Swedish. 😉 Thanks for the recipe. I will now lull myself to sleep pretending I’m drinking it. ---

When I get bored with life I should just keep flirting with you ladies and leave pissing you off to somebody who is better at it. \*\* :best Southern belle accent: Sir, you indeed sound like a gentleman and a gentle soul, but proceed with caution. Do not toy with our emotions so. 'Tis true what is said about a woman scorned. Flirt if you must but, please do not tell us it is out of boredom. That is truly a dangerous path to tread. Now to make up for such a severe chastising, I’d like to invite you to sit by the fire with me. It’s nice and crackling and though I don’t have any Glogg, I have plenty of other suitable beverages, both alcoholic and non. Myself, I’m drinking a latte but maybe later we can have some hot chocolate with creme de menthe or expresso and Kahlula or maybe you some have some better ideas…😉 :/Best Southern belle accent: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by The Mermaid \* > **Flirt if you must but, please do not tell us it is out of boredom. That is truly a dangerous path to tread.** Heavens, NO! I flirt because I enjoy it. I troll for trouble when I’m bored. Um, in the FISHING sense of the word! Although I could always create a sock puppet to start stuff, But my tortured construction and twisted syntax would give me away. ---

Welcome to the SDMB, **awrik**. While the revival of years-old threads is not against the rules, we’d hope you’d have a good reason for bumping a thread 11 years old. If you (or anyone) wants to talk about the OP’s subject further, feel free to make a new thread. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-like-to-tip-my-hat-to-ladies/46470.md?page=1)
