I thought the joke was funny as all get out. Linda's22003 joke fell flat as a pancake.

I can see why a guy would think so. :p

I can see why a broad would think yours is funny.

Oh, not only abroad; domestically, as well. :)

That got me curious, so I looked up the derivation of the slang term "broad", and there doesn't seem to be much agreement on its origin. It's certainly outdated; I haven't heard it in years, and decades is probably more accurate. It's a very 1930s-1950s term.

how about dame?

[linda22003]

Dame goes WAY back; I've seen references to it in seventeenth century works, and in fact it's still an honorific title bestowed by the Queen, in England.

In terms of slang, I think broad and dame are two distinct entities. I would consider Mae West and Jean Harlow to be dames; Texas Guinan was a broad.

Dudley Moore did exactly the same thing (looking up the definition/derivation of the term "broad") in "10" just before breaking out with "I want a broad, just like the broad who married dear old dad."

I had never heard the term "moll" before a few years ago when I started reading up on Dillinger. " Broad" made me think of that.
