ooooooo
Lighten up, Frances.
Frances is a girl's name isn't it. So, is Duane really a girl [not woman] with penis envy perhaps?
Nope. In the 1950s and in Irish neighborhoods, guys were still named Frances as the long or formal form of Frank and Frank was considered as a dimunitive form of Frances, which was spelled with an e to disambiguate it from the girl's name Francis.
Needless to say, guys who were addressed by the nuns as Frances in Irish Catholic schools got a lot of ***, and the scene in the 1981 film stripes, in which the new recruits introduce themselves is based on this.
My post was based on what Harold Ramis, one of the stars in Stripes, does after Psycho gives his little spiel. Ramis shakes his hand as if to say "look, I'm so scared" and says ooooo and Frances/Psycho glares at Ramis' character, and says, "you're on my list". Whereupon the old Sarge says, "lighten up, Frances".
And then there was the MAN in the NFL at QB the Scrambler Fran Trakenton his name was Frances. <g>
Duane :)
I wish to correct a previous poster (?) Francis is masculine, Frances is feminine.
