Are "pumas" and "cougars" acceptable?
Yeah, but you're just a kid compared to me so....I'm a short timer only having worked for this employer for 19 years this fall.
I use "folks" a lot. And y'all or all y'all...Until I saw this and hit google, had no idea anything but shoes and cats were pumas. I tend to call everyone guys, regardless of gender.
Are choad and wanker acceptable?

Don't know what a choad is, but I would say if the shoe fits, wanker is acceptable...
Edit - just looked them up. I thought wanker meant "a**hole". Ooops!
I went sort of British on you. You know those limeys can't speak English.
My daughter claims to be able to speak with a British accent. The extent of this is her merely saying the word "British" like "Bri-ish"
Anyone have any experience with an online resume builder?
My resume is ancient and I figure I should redo it in a format that is more updated as opposed to when I did mine years ago. I'm not sure what has changed much but figured I would ask.

Does anyone else find it interesting that we can't type "penis" on this site but they run ads with a guy asking "Why is my penis curved?"
The forbidden word is another P word for phallus.
EDIT: Well, I guess we can type it now...
I had to turn the closed captioning on when Rose Tyler was on Dr. Who. Blimey.
I have never seen an ad for this on CFDoes anyone else find it interesting that we can't type "penis" on this site but they run ads with a guy asking "Why is my penis curved?"

That's why I asked. I haven't seen a lot of resumes lately and figure they have changed a bit. If I search for resume builders I get all sorts of hits. I guess I could just go home one night and mess around with a few.I used a template on mac pages that did the trick (since I got the job) but I'm not sure about online or PC options. I feel like resumes have become a lot more visual from when I started working, to the latest job change.
I've worked around international students and faculty for the last 30+ years, so my ear for accents is pretty decent. The occasional trip-up for me is several folks from India who have thick British accents. The accent isn't the problem, it's the speed at which they talk. I have to tell them to slow down because my ears can't listen as fast as they talk. And I serve as translator for PapaLew on a lot of those shows when we watch them together. Some of them though, he just gives up. It's kind of hard to enjoy something when you have to have someone running a constant commentary.We switched closed captioning on while watching Guy Richie's movie "Snatch" and it wasn't picking up half of what Brad Pitt was saying. I think it just said something like "mumbling noises" or something.
Whenever we watch a movie with thick British accents or lingo, I have to act as a translator for my wife. I've pretty much given up trying to get her to like Monty Python altogether.
