Ya know, women have a generic solution...we can get away with calling every little kid we run into "sweetie" or "honey." Maybe the generic solution for guys would be to call the kids "squirt" or "munchkin..." Those both sound non-gender specific, plus don't sound overly girly...

I find that you can also use these gender neutral terms; tool, jackass, moron, loser, 'hey-you, adopted kid' and many others. It helps you avoid the awkard silences we all disdain.

I like to address ambiguous guests as "Mousketeer," especially in Toontown. "Pardner" works pretty well for Frontierland, too.

Still working on something to use on Main Street that doesn't get the same reaction as "Streetwalker."

I've been guilty of calling women sir, but normally not the other way around.

I can remember one time when I was parked out at the tour cart, and I needed help from a female custodial CM, I accidentally called her sir. I apologized, but really didn't feel bad about it. She looked like a woman, but I was so overworked at that point, all my responses were pre-programmed.

When I worked at Honey, I would hand out those infernal 'goggles' (nothing more than cheaply mass produced plastic frames with a thin sheet of polarized film in the middle) and I would refer to every child 4 and under (or approx.) 'baby' ..you know, like off that goddamned Old Navy commercial? I figured if they could get away with it, so could I .. AND I DID, till I quit - now I call them whatever I want.
