    I’ve always enjoyed “Broad” as a slang term for women.

    It’s old-timey & just misogynistic enough that people can’t tell if you’re for real or making a joke.

      Huh, you don’t say.

        FWIW, I’ve only ever said it jokingly, usually accompanied with a looney toons gangster accent and several “Nyeahs”.

        I did feel bad for laughing once in the gym locker room when someone described a female bodybuilder as “The Broad broad,” because I really don’t think he meant it jokingly or he would have said it to her face.
