Old Woman

[Maydup]

I’m trying to describe a man I know to a younger person . He’s a proper old woman but I don't think I can say that these days!

Nothing I can think of quite describes him as well as that phrase. Any suggestions for something more suitable for a younger person’s understanding?

[Redhelen72]

He's a proper Jon Richardson

[rowanwitch]

Yep just say imagine Jon Richardson older! That's a good one RH.

[Redhelen72]

He always strikes me as an old lady in a young man

[Khandro]

Proper old witch ?

[Khandro]

fishwife ?

[gness]

I’m old and a witch so no, Khandro. :-)

[Redhelen72]

I think fishwife is an old term!

How about ' A Karen'

[rowanwitch]

I think it's ok to describe someone as like a female character on tv .... Not sure if any thing these days includes older female characters though.

[Redhelen72]

Certainly on social media an older woman who whinges a lot is called a Karen

Great ideas keep them coming!

Who's Jon Richardson? If someone said that to me I wouldn't have a clue what they meant.

[MissTerious2]

I'm glad you asked that Naomi. I now admit to not having a clue who he is.

A big jessie.

Big girl's blouse.

Thanks Canary, but I'm still none the wiser as to why he's an old woman.
