golden girls

Senior female companions

Golden girls refers to older women, typically past retirement age, who remain active, social, and spirited.

The term gained currency from the 1980s American sitcom about four older women sharing a Miami home, and now describes any group of lively older female friends: The golden girls meet every Tuesday for bridge and gossip.
