Ah. It’s been awhile since I saw that.
Heck, it can refer to an all-female group, too.
Indeed.
Does anyone under the age of maybe 70 ever unironically call women “gals”?
Let me explain. No, there Is too much. Let me sum up.
Hehe, I use both of those often as well.
This word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
Being a bog musical theater fan, I call them “Dolls”. 
“You just keep thinkin’ Butch, thats what you’re good at.”
“I think this boy’s cheese has done slid off his cracker.”
Arrrrgh! HUGE pet peeve!
I’m a guy (under 70). My even-younger brother constantly makes comments like “these gals at the party…” or “the gals at the office”.
.
Which brought back memories of my dad doing the same thing: “The gals at the office” was ALWAYS the term for women.
It was short for “The interchangeable chicks that can type and file and chitchat with clients and make coffee.”
So, quite a lack of respect inherent in the term.
.
He even told me, an impressionable young’un, that he “really didn’t like to hire gals, because sooner or later, they’ll get married… and if they don’t leave the company then, they will when they get pregnant.”
“It looks like I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue.”
“Sealed with a curse as sharp as a knife; doomed is your soul and damned is your life.”
Usually under my breath or in the car in my best Emilo Lizardo voice, but sometimes…
Just to mix it up, one line from television that I find myself using a lot: on LOIS & CLARK, there was a Superman villain — Tempus — who was so confident it graduated to ‘so cocky as to be relaxed about it’: just stating, in a matter-of-fact manner, that everything is going his way.
And the gag is, once our hero shows up and spectacularly foils the evil plan, well, now it’s obvious that it’s all over, right? And so it’d make sense to be just as matter-of-fact about noting that.
“Too late; you’d need an abort code to…”
[SMASH!]
“…or that, you could do that.”
And so, whenever someone opts for the obvious right in front of me, I can’t resist. “Man, I really need to start my day with some protein.” “Well, I could stop by your place every morning and fry you one egg.” “Uh, I was thinking I’d just buy some protein bars.” “Or that. You could do that.”
Only if you say something like " hey guys & gals" and even that would be hardly ever. Altho i am getting close to that number.
Good one.
I use this on the SDMB even.
From Archer: “That’s… that’s way better, actually.” (“Stir-Friday?”)
“Do you want X? This is how we get X.” Obviously.
I sometimes say “Shhhhh”
Unrelated to the movie line theme/topic, but ever since I worked at Meijer in the 1990’s, I call these doors “Automatic Caution Doors” because they had these signs on them:
Speaking of Automatic Caution Doors, I loved how, when Bart Simpson sold his soul, the doors didn’t work for him.
So as I approach those, I think to myself “So, do I still have a soul? …[fwwwt]… Oh, good!”
Milhouse, there is no such thing as a soul. It’s just something parents made up to scare children, like the boogeyman or Michael Jackson.
I’m walkin’ here!
Based on Ratso Rizzo in Midnight Cowboy
