Old Lady
Threadneedle Street nickname
Old lady is an informal term for a wife, girlfriend, or mother: My old lady won't let me go out tonight.
The possessive marks the relationship—his old lady, my old lady.
The phrase can sound affectionate or dismissive depending on tone.
Without a possessive, old lady simply describes an elderly woman: Some old lady yelled at us from her porch.
