biddies
Fussy older women
Biddies is the plural of biddy, an informal and often dismissive term for an older woman, especially one perceived as fussy, meddlesome, or set in her ways: a group of old biddies gossiping at the coffee shop.
The word carries condescending overtones.
Biddy can also mean a hen or young chicken, though this sense is rare outside rural dialect.
