Twofingerz 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2007 are flies masculine or feminine? In conversation i tend to put masculine title on mine? ex: HE is a nice one HIS legs are a bit screwed up this little GUY was my first attempt how do you all refer to your flies? does it get more specific when you do insect imitations since some bugs actually are male or female? just curious, and maybe a little bored Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mitch821 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2007 Interesting....when it comes to buggers and ugly flies I'll usually tend to think of them as being masculine...but when I start wondering into the classic forum and speys/dees I see them being more feminine.... kinda like when a good looking woman catches your eye :dunno: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vices 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2007 I gotta a couple flies i just call @#%* or acouple flies i have affectionatly named @#$$#$^%&*(#$% head... the prettiest are shes.. the meanist looking are he's. I tend to use "the" when describing a fly in place of he or she though.. not often enough do i feel that the fly gives the impression of one sex or the other.

Alex C. 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2007 My flies are neither he nor she. They're all it. The only exceptions are a few realistics that I was really proud of, and they were he, except the praying mantis was a she. Someday I'm gonna tie her a headless he Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morfrost 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2007 Fl;ies are Masculine and Femine. A fellow's wife walked into the kitchen and saw her husband sitting in a chair with the fly swatterin his hand. "Did you get any, dear?" she asked. "Yup", he said, " Three males and 2 females" "How could you tell ?" she asked. Two were on the telephone and the rest were on a beer bottle.

flymaker1 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2007 :hyst: :hyst: :hyst: :hyst: SO then this begs the question, If it's a he fly, are you using rooster feathers? Conversley for a female fly, are you using hen feathers? Where does this insanity end??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
