A woman friend turned me on to a phrase years ago, don't know how
widespread it is, applicable to men who must be right rather than
accept the judgement of a woman, or admit that they might know more
about the subject at hand: "Male Answer Syndrome".

Dennis sez:

How about "Answer Swiftly Syndrome" or "Answer Surely Syndrome" as a better
acronym?


But see, in a sense you're displaying the syndrome! :) as well, just
to ensure no misunderstanding. The point being: she has to deal with
it, so she can use whatever term she wants to describe it, without the
phrase being "improved" by a male who presumes to understand the problem
better and therefore be able to more accurately describe it...

Part of her commentary dealt with the fact that many males MUST always
have an answer when a woman is around, right or wrong, whether swiftly
or slowly, surely or with uncertainty.

Not ME, though, oh no! Not even once in my life!
