In this article, my ethnographic interest in Kewa women's quest for different lifestyles merges with my theoretical interests in the interactional basis of everyday life to produce an analysis that places the impolite person at the center of daily tactics that go beyond making do. Drawing on such fields as linguistic analysis, politeness theory, moral theory, and theories of practice, I develop a polemological account of a cultural change that is played out mainly on gender lines, [change, language and interaction, tactics, practices, gender, Papua New Guinea
