Why do men call their girlfriend or wife 'Old Lady?'

[Lacy]

Well yeah.
He's da man
What a sweetheart.

And since I apparently look (and often feel) older than you, I cannot accurately call you my ol' man. I do sometimes call you The Man, though.

 

[Stoney McFried]

I call mine my old man and he's a year younger than me.

 

[Lacy]

so in other words...you or not really sure but just go along wif it because it is the cool thing to do.

well im from tennessee and growin up anywhere you're bound to inherent the dialect.. yeah i say ol' lady.. its just a pet name. thats all. theres no real rhyme or reason i don't believe.

perhaps the government is putting something in the water.

 

[Lacy]

Umm...ok. But I don't really have any fancy pants

he should call you miss fancy pants...

 

[Lacy]

I call my man ALL KINS of names but never old man. I suppose I have to agree with Dave in that it is a derogatory term that just became somewhat acceptable.

[Lacy]

OMG buddy. Ain't that the truth.

Ya really need to get out more lacykins lol

 

[Pookiedough]

Eh, mine is three years younger than me but he has been told the term "old lady" will get him hurt so he wisely avoids it, im known as the Queen of Sheba around the house and out in public im beautiful that "old lady" stuff just does not and will never fly.

 

[Lacy]

LMAO!!! I love it . Love it, Yes indeed. I feel the same way.
That'll NEVER fly wif this gurl

[Lacy]

so far the majority of people say they do it just because everyone else does and to be cool

ok then

 

[VTXDave]

Yes Dave. I think you two make a delightful couple. Much honour and respect there but you also allow each other freedom and breathing space for each other to be their true selves.

I know this is just me looking in from a distance but it is nice to observe all the same.

I have much respect for your wife also. I admire her intergrity and communication skills. She writes and expresses herself well and thats something I really admire in either sex.

Good man Dave

Thank you Lacy.

 

[Lacy]

Anytime Dave

Thank you Lacy.

 

[Lacy]

Maybe I should just go wif You are welcome

Later

[Zekedogg]

I like the term buttercups

 

[Seamaiden]

Aw.. You're gonna get me all verklempt, Lacy. I do love him dearly. Although, last night I was playing some of fdd's links in Sexyfattops's rock thread, and there was a vid of GBH from '85 or '86, which is a show I would have gone to back then. Not Dave!
Timing is everything.

 

[goatamineHcL]

its a term of endearment if your man is calling you his ole' lady he is really down to ride for you even if you dont like the term my fiance calls me honey bunny and i hate it but shes down to ride for me so i deal with it

And Zeke strikes again. I just learned what a buttercup is.
