But I don’t really care and it’s not my concern if they do it in private. If she comes here and makes the same comment, I’ll criticize her too.

If you would prefer, The Oxford English dictionary takes a different route for 'broad': "slang (originally and chiefly U.S.). A woman. Now dated". Their first recorded used was 1909 in Sporting Life (Philadelphia)

Quote:They formerly called women by the name the sex implies, But now they're ‘Broilers’, ‘Broads’, and ‘Chicks’, ‘Fillies’ or even ‘Frys’.

The English major in me is itching to dive further down this rabbit hole (or chicken coop, I guess), but it serves no further purpose in this topic.

The language police are now here at the loss of the topic.
