Just yesterday, a friend called a realtor about a prospective new home. She was encouraged to have her man call back later, while being called 'the little woman'. This is a 56 year old, single Mom of 4 very successful young people. She was not entirely pleased ...

That's not to denigrate but to include Welsh English, Scots English, Nirish Enlish.
