What's a "wigga?"

Added: LOL

If I remember well, a wigga, is a caucasian that is immersed in Hip-Hop subculture, behaving and dressing like them.

I hate being called Ma'am, makes me feel old but being called Miss makes me feel silly or like the person is being sarcastic.

I Luv being called ma'am. It totally makes my day. Sometimes I make my girls call me that, just because it makes me happy. It's very respectful, I think.

I wanted to name all four of my girls Missy, but hubby said no. I still call them that, anyway. Does this make me Southern?

Edit to add: I make my boy call me ma'am, too. When he's around.

Actually the term is "wigger" for "white n*****"

In this part of the country we say "ma'am as a show of respect. The lady doesn't necessarily have to be older.

I've been called ma'am and miss on different occasions. I like ma'am because it sounds so respectful ('miss' is too, but it seems awkward to me unless followed by a name). Both of them work! Smile
