Are you being purposely obtuse? The root of this entire thread was around the use of the word "Queen" to criticize a female coworker. Please don't take my point out of context. If you really want to have a argument over semantics, then I'll amend my original argument to say "veiled gender pronouns".



No, I think I'm getting thrown off by the correct definition of the word pronoun.

"Queen" is not a pronoun, gendered or otherwise, it's a noun that refers to a female person.


Well, you got me on my grammar. Regardless, the point remains the same.


I'm being excessively literal. Aside from the grammar detail, your point is clear.
