I have yet to meet a woman using a douchebag.
Oh wait ... I probably never will, I'm married now

As soon as kids can talk, they're okay. It's the smelly, loud, annoying babies that get on my nerves.
This coming from a father-to-be
Oh, and I'd like to point out, most Austrians know that there's a space after punctuations
And the -ová attachment is only being done in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Once you're in Austria, you usually stick to one form or the other (meaning mother, father and child share the last name). It really is a weird concept, the -ová thing. Then again, I respect my wife for giving up the name she used for 30+ years and took mine. Even if mine is cooler
Giving up one's last name is, too, a weird thing.
Sorry, no kid-quotes to post here.
The only thing that we all crack up about is when my brother was in first grade, learning how to read and put letters together.
He knew how to read the "L" and the "O". So he was supposed to read "LO", and just wouldn't get it.
We tried to show him how to combine the two letters. He could
read the "L", and
read the "O", and even speak them properly.
But when put together , suddenly, the "L" and the "O" became "MO".
Man, we were frustrated. We thought he'd have to go to special ed or something. Now he's the one finishing university, while his smart-ass brother (me) dropped out after a few years to start something new.
