A Query

Note:- This post is based on true incident. No prizes for guessing who the logical dame was.

She – Are you a girl or a lady ?

The logical damsel (thinking, pulling her hair)- Ufffff.. Once again she has asked a silly question.

The logical damsel – Hmmm What do you want to ask ? Even a ten year old girl is called a lady, young lady that is.

She – No, no. When a female is married, she is called a lady and when unmarried, she is a girl.

The logical damsel – Ohhh, so you mean Britney Spears has become a lady years back and Lata Mangeshkar is still a girl ?

Bon Weekend !!

Current song- Ek Chidiya Anek chidiyan, Daana Chugne aayi Chidiyan

    We have young ladies and also old girls - so yeah works both ways. One of the definitions of ‘lady’ is someone who’s romantically attached to a man - maybe that’s why this confusion.
    Hope you’re having fun. btw, I’ll be doing my internship in Mumbai this summer! Yohooo!!

    Oxford Dictionary says:
    lady
    • noun (pl. ladies) 1 (in polite or formal use) a woman. 2 a woman of superior social position. 3 (Lady) a title used by peeresses, female relatives of peers, the wives and widows of knights, etc. 4 a courteous or genteel woman.

    Woman, not girl ;)

    well “Lady” is taken more in a sense of .. aaa .. an articulate and well mannered/behaved woman .. the question should be are you a girl or a woman ..

  32. Cuckoo said,

    April 7, 2007 @ 4:16 am

    Sunrise,
    Welcome here.

    I’m not a girl, not yet a woman.. Then what are you ?

    बहुत ही सुंदर. बिल्कुल फ्रेश. हमें बड़ा आनंद आया यह जानके की आपको हिन्दी भी आती है वह भी बड़ी अच्छी. एक ब्लॉग में आपकी टिप्पणी देखी.
    आपने हमारे अँग्रेज़ी ब्लॉग को उपकृत किया था.
