Not true

Lady and gentleman were originally words with class distinctions. As we no longer have those distinctions, we no longer need those words. We are all supposed to be equal. The woman you hire to scrub your floors is not elevated in status when you call her a cleaning lady instead of a cleaning woman. What happens is that the term lady loses is associations with a particular class. The true meaning of "gentleman" in English, was a man of the gentry, or someone with land who got his money through farming, rents and mines.

nope, in the olden day (1200's) golf was called gowf. I am going to play some gowf today, When they brought the accent over to America from scotalnad, the translation was golf.

That's almost as ridiculous as the old NASCAR claim that Ford stands for F.irst O.n R.ace D.ay.

Made up acronym by someone very sexist. Do you honestly think they thought of that in 1820's in Scotland? I doubt it...
