What collective term do you use?

[lurker17260]

What collective term do you use, affectionately and informally, for a group of middle aged women?  Girls is not appropriate, women - too formal, ladies - too "Little Britain", sheilas, chicks - ummmmm  NO! 

Men can be guys, fellows, blokes etc but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent term for females.

Gaggle refers to geese.

Why label women as geese?

Well where I work we laugh so darn hard all day long that we often get called a gaggle of geese because that is what we sound like... our laughing echos down the corridors... i don't know what the public think sometimes, they probably think we don't do any work... 

The blokes laugh along with us but we laugh louder... 

I think when women get together we laugh and have a great time...

If one types in " What is the collective name for women " the term gaggle actually is used. Mind you one should think twice if a bloke called a group of ladies such a thing :^O

Personally, I would refer to a collective name for women as a pageant.   LOL
