Quote from Tim in Birds of a Feather Flock to Taylor
Eddie: So what if it's the opera? Look on the good side of it. You're gonna get to see your wife all dolled up in a beautiful gown. Tim: She wants to wear a tux. Hick: Oh, I hate to see a woman wearing pants. You know, down at the senior center I won't even dance with a woman unless she's wearing nylons with a nice seam right up the back of her legs. Eddie: Those aren't seams. Those are veins. Hick: My point is, Tim, that in the old days women wore dresses. And they hung onto your arm on a Saturday night, And they liked it when you called them "dame". Tim: I don't think Jill would like it if... [deep voice] I called her "dame". Hick: Well, dame, doll, gal, babe - whatever she likes.
