?? Never said waiter was. Did someone else? I'm not sure what anything has
to do with what a group calls themselves vs. what others call them when
attempting to lump them into some less than human way, but feel free to
explain. If you want to call yourself a Scottish American, go for it. As
far as wasp goes, you probably don't want to use that term around the
rich, white anglosaxon protestants at the local cpuntry club, not if you
want to have any company on the patio anyway.

Some years ago there was a push to get away from using the words "waiter"
and "waitress," presumedly because "waitress" was considered sexist. So we
instead got terms like "wait staff," "servers," and the rarely-used but
still funny, "waitron."

Another pf my pet peeves. What is sexist about being a woman? After
all they can do things that men can't and men can't do anything that a
woman can't.

If anything it is the men who ought to be complaining about
discrimination.

While out driving:

Me: "Rest stop ahead. Want to stop?"
Hubby: "Yeah, I could stand to pee."
Me: "That must be convenient."
